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."

Which sentence has the correct comma placement? Mark Twain was fond of condemning lying by saying "If you tell the truth, you do
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

Mark Twain was fond of condemning lying by saying, "If you tell the truth, you don’t have to remember anything."

Explanation:

Quotations are usually used with a colon after a sentence. However, they can also be introduced with a comma when there is an introductory phrase before it, such as <em>by saying</em>. On the other hand, when the quotation is introduced in the sentence, the comma is not necessary, like the first sentence.
