Answer: B

Explanation:

"icy" when describing a person's attitude or personality means cold, rude, etc, but a smile is usually happy and warm.

Personally I don't think it's an oxymoron- it's definitely possible to do a rude, fake smile. But B is what an oxymoron is- two words that are opposite in meaning and shouldn't technically be used together- like "awfully good" or "bittersweet."

Explain this proverb in 4-5 sentenses:
DiKsa [7]
The proverb, "The cure for boredom is curiosity; there is no cure for curiosity." means that you will never be bored if you are curious because curiosity can never be taken away.

Sorry, it's only one sentence!! It's a start, though, and maybe it could help you to write the other 4 sentences.

In acts 1 and 2 of Julius Caesar, with whom is Brutus most in conflict?
enyata [817]

In acts 1 and 2 of Julius Caesar, Brutus is in conflict with himself.

In the soliloquy in Act 2 Scene 1 in the tragedy of Julius Caesar explains Brutus' involvement in the assassination plot against Ceasar as he thinks about the consequences if Caesar is crowned. He compares the crowning procedure of Caesar to that of the hatching of a serpent from the egg. He assumes that when Caesar would become the king of Rome he will show his cruel nature and bring destruction to the people of Rome. Hence, Brutus joins the conspiracy against Caesar in order to prevent Rome from the ambitious nature of Caesar in the coming future.

Write a paragraph (5-7 complete sentences) that compares how the structures of “Gumption” and “To Build a Fire” create meaning.
Black_prince [1.1K]
I actually just did this as a project for my English class. Basically, they both create meaning by telling you of the struggles they went through. In "gumption" Oyster and his boy are dealing with racial injustice. In "to build a fire" he is challenged with surviving in the wilderness in the middle of winter. (hope I helped)
