B
It’s logical to assume that an ice sculpture on display can’t last very long; it would, thus, be ephemeral (lasting only a brief time). Choice A might have been a tempting choice, but although it’s possible for an ice sculpture to be evocative, it is not necessarily so. The other choices don’t fit in the logic of the sentence: choice C, abstemious, means moderate or nonindulgent; choice D, idiosyncratic,means having odd personal habits or quirks; and choice E, effusive, means overflowing with emotion.
