Which transitional phrase in the following sentence hints that Gracie did not express her ideas as clearly as she could have? At times, it almost feels as if I am holding ice because the snow often maintains its same shape when taken off the ground; in other words, if I grab a hunk of snow in the shape of a rectangle, it will remain as a rectangle even in my hand. Select one: a. At times b. As if c. In other words d. If I grab
