    Incorrect.

    Freezing
    “Freezing is a phase transition in which a liquid turns into a solid when its temperature is lowered below its freezing point.”

    Starvation
    “Starvation is a severe deficiency in caloric energy intake, below the level needed to maintain an organism’s life.”

    You are literally wrong, and I will accept a 1-page apology written in MLA format before the end of this week.

      I honestly do not see the contradiction. “Very cold” -> liquid turns to solid. “Very hungry” -> severe deficiency.

        Then how do you explain iron, which freezes below 2,800 Fahrenheit, hm? 2,800 Fahrenheit is hot.

            You cannot be “freezing” unless you are a bloodsicle. This follows from the exact definition of the word. Words have meanings, you know. If people can just say whatever they want, then what is the point of communication?
