Question 4 • VT-SAT-Reading and Writing

Marcus began work on a giant snowman.

Answer
A
Already melting under the bright winter sun,
B
Constructed from tightly packed snow and ice,
C
Wrapping his scarf tightly around his neck,

Explanation

The opening phrase should describe the person doing the action in the main clause. “Wrapping his scarf tightly around his neck” describes Marcus, who began work on the snowman. The other choices would make it sound as though Marcus himself was melting or constructed from snow and ice.
