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."

Billy is a descendant of the earl of Lancaster
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:The sentence above is a simple sentence.

Explanation

The sentence above is a simple sentence because it contains only one independent clause. Simple sentences have no dependent clauses. Moreover, they are also called clausal sentences and they may have modifiers besides a subject, a verb, and an object. On the contrary, compound sentences join two or more independent clauses with a coordinator such as for, and, but, or a semi-colon.

When Caliban refers to Trinculo as "this thing" in line 13, the word thing conveys
frozen [14]

Answer: The contempt he has for Trinculo.

Caliban uses this word in Act III, scene 2. The passage is the following:

<em> I say, by sorcery he got this isle; </em>

<em>From me he got it. If thy greatness will </em>

<em>Revenge it on him, for I know thou darest, </em>

<em>But this </em><em><u>thing</u></em><em> dare not, </em>

In this scene, Caliban is plotting with Stephano to take the island away from Prospero, and rule it. He refers to Stephano as "thy greatness" and says that he believes he has what it takes to carry it out. However, he thinks little of Trinculo and does not think he would dare commit something like that. The contempt Caliban has for Trinculo is shown in his use of the word "thing."
