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."

Your task is to write an Essay on How My Family Deals with the Pandemic
raketka [301]

Answer:

Explanation:

It's not an easy thing dealing with the pandemic. Like in most families, it's the same with mine, tough. The fact that we can't go out when we please is an insane level of a new normal. One that is very difficult to get through. Despite the advent of social media and all, people still relish meeting one another physically, to bond, to share a nice time and to be happy.

The effect of the pandemic meant we could not see one another, physically, not when we wanted and not how we wanted. Too many restrictions which was definitely meant for our own good, but tough to live by. The fact that we couldn't even do grocery shopping, and had to rely on everything being delivered to us. How about the absence of jobs? It's a tough one, in fact, the toughest one. Bills have to be paid, but there isn't job anymore so how does one pay it?

Coming out of the pandemic seems to be a miracle particularly when everyone was clueless when it started. Now, with lesser restrictions, even if life hasn't gotten back to how it was, it's transitioning into how it used to be. And this happens to be a very positive thing
