the meaning of the sentence
Hello
Would you help me to understand this sentence?
#1 Scolded by her father, Yuki got angry and went out of the room.
Which meaning is appropriate?
#2 Because Yuki was scolded by her father she got angry and went out of the room.
#3 When Yuki was scolded by her father she got angry and went out of the room.
Does #1 have another meaning? Or can #1 be read in many ways in some contexts?
Thank you.

Both can be used.
This simply means: Yuki to angry when her father scolded her and so she left the room.
#2 Because Yuki was scolded by her father she got angry and went out of the room.-- this sentence answers the question "why did Yuki leave the room?"
#3 When Yuki was scolded by her father she got angry and went out of the room.-- This sentence answers the question-- When did YUki leave the room?
Hope this clarifies.
