Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

To build a snowman, the kids followed steps even though it was cold. Before rolling the snow, they put on gloves and a hat. After they rolled three balls of snow, they stacked the biggest on the bottom. They did not add the carrot nose until the head was steady. Finally, they stepped back to take a picture.

What had to happen before the kids added the carrot nose?

Athey put on gloves and a hat

Bthey stepped back to take a picture

Cthey stacked the biggest on the bottom

Dthe head was steady

Solution & Explanation:Choice D is correct because “not ... until the head was steady” shows the carrot nose could be added only after the head was steady. The gloves, stacking, and picture steps happen at other points.
