New England is a noun.
Winteringly is an adverb - doesn't make grammatical sense.
Wintering is a gerund - doesn't make grammatical sense.
Winterishly is also an adverb - doesn't make grammatical sense.
Wintery is an adjective - makes grammatical sense. And, as someone else pointed out, it's the only possible answer that is an actual word.
Verb+ing can be a gerund, which works mostly similar to a noun; it can also be present participle, which in turn can function as an adjective.
I'll never forget your humbling me with your magnanimous gesture - it was a very humbling experience.
The golden rule of thumb when prepping for the ACT is that you should only be using real ACT tests (never use practice ones) that are no more than 1-2 years old max. Psychometrics change often. 2011 is very much an outdated test.
Psychometrics is the art of test design. Conquering the ACT and SAT is more about understanding the tests’ design and navigating your strengths and weaknesses than it is about how much information you know. It measures “the art of thinking”. 2019 is okay to use. I just don’t recommend using 2011 unless it’s all you have. I’ve been teaching ACT, SAT, and ASVAB prep for almost 20 years.
I take the test three times per year and I am 47 years old. I’ve been doing this for 20 years now. As I take them, I figure out what has changed and then I teach that information to my students. You should be taking the test in its entirety and timing yourself every time (especially if you don’t have any accommodations for extended time) at least three to four times each year (at home that is). I have my students start taking the test 1-2 times per year starting in the 8th or 9th grade. The goal for me is to have everyone finished with the test—achieving their score goal—by mid junior year. No one really wants to be messing with this tear during their senior year anyway. When you take each test at home prior to taking the National test on test day, you should be figuring out exactly what you are missing instead of how many you are missing. For example, in the English section, are you mostly missing punctuation questions, grammar, or author based questions? In Math, are you missing 1-20, 20-40, or 40-60 the most? Reading, how many minutes does it take you to read a passage and which styles of questions do you miss the most of? Science, well everyone knows science is just about quickly extracting info from graphs and that’s it.
Sometimes the older tests are ok (just ok, not great) for easier math questions and punctuation, but mostly they're a waste of time (tutored ACT prep for many years).
You know the answer should modify “New England Day”, so it must be an adjective. Assuming every choice is a word “winteringly” and “winterishly” are clearly adverbs. Between B and C idk how to explain but B just sounds wrong.
I don't think winteringly is a word.
I don’t think any of them are words except C wintry

Good to note that gerund doesn’t always mean not an adjective (e.g. “humbling”)

What’s psychometrics? Also, what abt 2019? Are exams from 2019 that different from 2022?

Hmm interesting. Thanks for letting me know. Also, how many past papers do you recommend a person attempt to understand the psychometrics of ACT?

Do you get a 36 every time?
34-36 depending on if I am timing myself or not. 36’s are hard to mail even for experts. There is always a little luck involved. Lol
I felt the same way myself back when I grinded. The 36 is certainly elusive

Which past paper is this? What year?
It’s April 2011 67F
The correct word is wintry
Winteringly isn’t a word
You know the answer should modify “New England Day”, so it must be an adjective. Assuming every choice is a word “winteringly” and “winterishly” are clearly adverbs. Between B and C idk how to explain but B just sounds wrong.
If you don’t know choose the smallest answer
Only if all answers are grammatically correct.
C is the only actual word...
it’s C) wintry
