Which sentence begins with a different grammatical structure than the others?

Answer
A

C
Sleepy and a little angry, Tiger was ready to leave the school day behind.
D
Carried by the wind, pollen is an irritant to the sinuses of many people.

Explanation

A, B, and D begin with phrases headed by past participles: “Enjoyed,” “Rested,” and “Carried.” C begins with the adjectives “Sleepy” and “angry,” so it has a different grammatical structure. The answer is C, “Sleepy and a little angry, Tiger was ready to leave the school day behind.”
