Explanation
The given answer "ice floe, ce floe" accurately describes the term "A large area of ice floating in the sea." An ice floe refers to a mass of ice that has broken away from a larger ice formation and is floating freely in the water. The term "ce floe" is a misspelling, but it still conveys the same meaning as "ice floe." Both terms indicate a large expanse of ice that is adrift in the sea.Rate this question:
