In this SN2 reaction , epoxide is above the plane and as ethoxide ion ( being a nucleophile ) will attack first , so it will attack from lower face . And there can be two possibilities for attack, but in both cases, ethoxide ion would attack from lower face and hence it would be shown by dash bond. And OH group ( after work up ) would be shown by wedge bond .This is shown as :

Question

This is the feedback I'm getting:

This reaction is an S_N2 reaction. With the epoxide above the plane of the ring, the ethoxide will attack the lower face of the ring, producing a product with a trans orientation. Consider if the product(s) will have zero, one, or two chirality centers.

Draw the structure of the product formed in the reaction of an epoxide with ethoxide ion. If more than one stereochemical
product is possible, draw only one isomer.
Clearly indicate stereochemistry by drawing a wedged bond, a
dashed bond and two in-plane bonds per chiral carbon.
