The correct answer is 1. Helen did not want to face the sad news she received.


Her eyes were wide open because of shock, but she didn't want to face the reality, that her husband is actually gone. She is sad because of this tragedy, and that reflects on her face. She would like to shut her eyes so as not to accept her husband's death, but that is not going away, unfortunately.

Pizza is Better than Pasta <br> explain the affirmative side and negative side
pshichka [43]

Answer:

Pizza has multiple layers onto one and it's affordable, but depending on the place you get it, pizza can be filled with grease, which is bad for your health. On the other hand, pasta is delicious and classy and is universally favored (except for people who dislike carbs). Pasta is healthy for you and it's easier to make (not from scratch though). I do not see the negative side of pasta, but that's all I got.
