Almost every other compound in nature contracts when frozen, but H20 [water] molecules do the opposite,

organizing themselves into elegant hexagonal crystals that

take up about 9 percent more space than they did when

sloshing around in a liquid state. Pretty six-sided crystals

suggest snowflakes so gossamer it's hard to conceive of

them pushing apart slabs of sidewalk.

Read the excerpt below and answer the question. she dwelt among the untrodden ways beside the springs of dove, a maid whom there were none to praise and very few to love: a violet by a mossy stone half hidden from the eye! --fair as a star, when only one is shining in the sky. she lived unknown, and few could know when lucy ceased to be; but she is in her grave, and, oh, the difference to me! (wordsworth, “she dwelt among the untrodden ways”) which option explains a meaning implied by the use of the adjective untrodden in the excerpt? the maid was lost in the woods. the maid lived in a rural setting. the maid was a nature spirit. the maid suffered a life without joy.
