If you are talking about an excerpt from "Gulliver's travels" then your answer would be Gulliver. I just took the test myself. I hope this helped!!
Answer:
C. "That year [1999] was the first time I saw snow. I played in the
wondrous white stuff until my fingers and toes were frozen," wrote
the author.
Explanation:
A. is not the right answer. The verb is the key part of the sentence and can’t be put in the explanation in the brackets. If there is no verb, the sentence without brackets couldn’t be complete.
B. is not the right answer. Snow is mentioned in the first sentence of the speech, therefore it is implied that “wondrous white stuff” is snow, which means there is no need for explanation in the brackets.
<u>C. is the right answer.</u> <u>In this case, the information in the brackets simply completes the initial sentence, giving the readers fuller knowledge of the matter.</u> Yet, the sentences would work on their own even without the information in the brackets. <u>Brackets and the information between them only serve to explain to us what “that year” means for the author.</u>
D. is not correct. The brackets saying I refer to the author are not needed here, as that is explained by the “wrote the author” at the end.
