Shakespeare uses paradox to show that Juliet loves her parents but she loves Romeo
To answer questions like these, it helps to look up the pertinent words in a dictionary and check if their definitions apply. In this case,
an oxymoron is "a combination of words that have opposite or very different meanings". Meanwhile,
a paradox is "something (such as a situation) that is made up of two opposite things and that seems impossible but is actually true or possible".
So, think about it: (1) Do the words "Julia loves her parents" and "Julia loves Romeo" have opposite or very different meanings? (2) Do Julia's love interests put her in an apparently impossible situation? I think you can answer these for yourselves, and that will be your solution to your teacher's exercise.
