You can decrease the entropy of a static body by reducing the temperature.
no.
No, because the entropy of the surroundings must increase more than the decrease in the water->ice transition, thus the net change in the entropy of the universe is positive, consistent with the second law.
Entropy increases. In a reaction comprised of sub-reactions, some sub-reactions may show a decrease in entropy but the entire reaction will show an increase of entropy. As an example, the formation of sugar molecules by living organisms is a process that shows decrease in entropy at the expense of the loss of entropy by the sun.
The net amount of entropy in the universe can only decrease if there is a localized decrease in entropy, which requires a larger increase in entropy in the surrounding environment to comply with the second law of thermodynamics. This is a highly unlikely scenario on a cosmic scale, as the overall trend in the universe is towards increased entropy.
The meaning is more order.
Only by increasing the entropy of another system.

If you include the student in the system, the entropy will increase, not decrease.
You cannot reduce entropy because entropy increases (Second Law of Thermodynamics), if you could, we could have perpetual motion. When work is achieved energy is lost to heat. The only way to decrease the entropy of a system is to increase the entropy of another system.
When energy is transformed, entropy can either increase or decrease. For example, in many energy transformations, such as combustion or chemical reactions, entropy tends to increase due to the dispersal of energy. However, in some processes, such as certain phase changes, entropy can decrease.
