Explanation:

• Option A: The word "frosty" describes Linda's determination, not her desire to skate. Eliminate A.
• Option B: "Frosty" implies coldness, not enjoyment. Eliminate B.
• Option C: The skating rink is cold, and Linda's determination is "far colder than the skating rink", so "frosty" connects her mood to the rink's coldness. This fits.
