Explanation

An oxymoron combines contradictory terms for effect. In 'found her kindness suffocating,' kindness is typically positive while suffocating is negative - creating an oxymoron. The other sentences use words normally: 'intricate design' (no contradiction), 'inclination towards carnatic music' (normal phrase), 'current affairs' (standard term).
