**4. Why did the grandfather sit in the corner behind the stove?**The correct answer is **D. He wasn't allowed to eat with his son's family.**The text explicitly states that the grandfather was forced to sit in the corner because his son and daughter-in-law were disgusted by his age-related difficulties with eating. They didn't allow him to eat with them at the table.**5. We know from the story that __**The best answer is **B. the old man's son and daughter-in-law were bad.**While the story doesn't explicitly label them as "bad," their actions clearly demonstrate a lack of respect, compassion, and care for the elderly grandfather. They mistreated him, showing disregard for his well-being. Options A, C, D, and E are not supported by the text.**6. What is the moral lesson of the story?**The moral lesson isn't explicitly stated but is implied. A suitable moral lesson would be: **Treat the elderly with respect and compassion.** The story highlights the consequences of neglecting and mistreating one's elders and the powerful impact of empathy and kindness. Option A is too narrow; the story's message is broader than just table manners.
