Minimal eye contact would not help establish a strong ethos, as it gives the impression you are not confident in what you are talking about.
If you need some adjectives:
astonishing
mesmerising
astounding
That would be a checklist
B. is the correct answer because, Russian is the name of a place or language and it needs to be capitalized. Also because the words: border, near, and the, don't need to be capitalized because they are not the name of something. Only Russian needs to be capitlaized. So it's B.
Hope I helped!
