The correct answer is, the two phrases that are oxymorons in this excerpt from Alexander Pope’s “An Essay on Criticism” are:

The Bookful Blockhead, ignorantly read, / With loads of learned lumber in his head.

The term oxymoron means that there are contradictory terms in a phrase or that there are contradictory words. In this case, the oxymorons in the text are “The Bookful Blockhead, ignorantly read, / With loads of learned lumber in his head.” Bookful could be interpreted as intelligent, while Blockhead as a fool. “Ignorantly” means that he does not know or is not aware, and “red/learned,” meaning that he knows, he is aware. Those are the oxymorons.
