Syllables and stress are two of the main areas of spoken language. Pronouncing words with the stress on the correct syllables will help you improve your spoken English, make your sentences easier to understand and help you sound more like a native speaker.
English syllables are stress-timed. English is classed as a ‘stress-based’ language, which means the meanings of words can be altered significantly by a change in stress. This is why it is important to learn how to use word stress in English and develop an understanding of sentence stress and English stress patterns.
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."

fortune, everything in his favour, should think highly of himself. If I may so
express it, he has a right to be proud."
<span>2.
</span>"That is very true," replied
Elizabeth, "and I could easily forgive his pride, if he had not mortified
mine."
These two excerpts describe the main theme of the story
which I fact is, pride and prejudice,
it states in both characters specifically Elizabeth and Darcy are in a dilemma
with their own personal conflicts; a
character vs character type of plot.
A) <span>Vonnegut uses satire in this excerpt by describing a society that has taken the idea of equality too far
By referencing the idea that everyone is equally intelligent, or perhaps unintelligent, thanks to the Handicapper general, who apparently hobbles people who were born with certain gifts. This obviously isn't good, and suggests that the idea of equality is being taken to the extreme in 2081. </span>
C is the correct answer, because if a written assignment is a 'humorous report', it means that it can be subjective, and that the author's personality is noticeable in the text. Whereas that is not the case in the other options.
