Answer 1

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.
