Question

1. in stanza 4, the reader can conclude that the speaker – (4.6f)

a. wishes he was building the snowman with a friend
b. is not yet satisfied with the snowman
c. is unsure of how to complete the snowman
d. is proud of his creation

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: There's no indication the speaker wants a friend’s help (no mention of friendship or desire for company in building the snowman).
• Option B: If the speaker were unsatisfied, there’d be clues of dissatisfaction (e.g., complaints about the snowman’s appearance), but this isn’t implied.
• Option C: Uncertainty about completing the snowman would involve indecision or confusion, which isn’t suggested.
• Option D: Pride in a creation (the snowman) aligns with positive reflection on one’s work, a common conclusion when a speaker reflects on their handmade snowman (implied care/effort in building it).

Answer:

D. is proud of his creation
