Questions about my practice
1. School started on a bitter / frozen cold day in February.
2. Because of economic crisis, industrial output remained stagnant/ inactive
Why the fomer one is better? Is there any difference between bitter cold and frozen cold? I think inactive is better because "stagnant" already have the meaning of "remain". I think it's unnecessary to use "stagnant" with "remain".
Questions aAbout my pLanguage Practice
Practice on its own sounds odd, in English you would specify what type of practice.
1. School started on a bitter / frozen cold day in February.
2. Because of economic crisis, industrial output remained stagnant/ inactive
Why is the former one is better?
Is there any difference between bitter cold and frozen cold?
I think inactive is better because "stagnant" already haves the meaning of "remain".
I think it's unnecessary to use "stagnant" with "remain".
Feedback
For 'frozen' vs 'bitter' bitter sounds better because using both 'cold' and 'frozen' together is repetitive. But bitter adds new information. I think 'bitter' also emphasizes how unpleasant the cold weather is. Frozen is more neutral.
I think 'remained stagnant' works. 'Industrial output remained' has a different meaning than 'industrial output remained stagnant.' 'Industrial output remains' means that industrial ouput is continuing to happen, whereas 'industrial output remains stagnate' means it is not growing at all.
'Inactive' I would say has a slightly different meaning as well. That would be saying there is no or very little industrial output.
