The following clues reveal answers that are oxymorons – two words that are opposites. The number of letters in each word is in parentheses. Example : Large seafood (5,6) = jumbo shrimp.

-1. pictorial speech (7,8)
-2. certain chance (8,11)
-3. Hades Seraphim (5,6)
-4. necessary option (7,8) think college
-5. poor chance (3,4)
-6. bellowing quiet (7,7)
-7. property improvement (4,11)
-8. brief stretch (5,6)
-9. casually compressed (7,6)
-10. subdued boogie (4,4)

Sometimes lost is where you need to be. Just because you don't know your direction doesn't mean you don't have one.

Is the letter count correct for 6? I ask because I would expect this one to be deafening silence (but perhaps you use a different expression on that side of the puddle) smile
