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."

I will give brainliest! PLLZZZ HELP :)
SashulF [63]

Answer:

Explanation:

The protagonist's main purpose is to be able to express herself as an American, due to the fact that she now lives in the United States. We learn that she is very happy to be able to express herself properly in this way when she says: "When I was done, I read over my words, and my eyes filled. I finally sounded like myself in English!" However, the protagonist also wants us to learn how her family's past has impacted their views, and the deep connection that she feels with her mother. This is obvious when the protagonists says that her mother tried to make her feel better after her fight with her father. We also learn that her mother was very supportive:

"“Go away,” I wailed, but we both knew I was glad she was there, and I needed only a moment’s protest to save face before opening that door.

Please give brainliest!

To which country can tragedy and comedy be traced back?
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

Greece

Explanation:

<u>In ancient Greece, the theatre was one of the most important parts of the culture and art, as they valued the spoken word. It started to develop around 600 years BC.</u> Dramatic arts were a means to explore and understand life, humans, and gods. <u>The main genres were comedy and tragedy. </u>

Comedy was used to put a satirical and humorous perspective on everyday life and human trains. They would often exaggerate stories and features with the masks. Some of the most famous comedies are <em>Lysistrata</em>, <em>The Clouds</em>, and<em> the Frogs</em>.

Greek tragedies are older than the comedies and the oldest ones come from Athens. Tragedies explored stories of love, loss, pride, conflict with gods, and so on. Many of them were based on myths and dealt with ideas of abusing the rules, without even realizing them, and then suffering the punishment. Some of the most famous tragedies are <em>Antigone, Electra, Medea, Helen</em>, and <em>Heracles</em>.
