Answer 1

A: I decided to take a trip to my grandmother's house for my break.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 2 definitions for trip:

1: Trip, meaning falling after hitting something. Example: I tripped on the blanket left on the floor.

2: Trip, meaning taking a ride to somewhere. Example: I took a trip to san Francisco for my birthday.

In this question, we're talking about example number 2, I took a trip somewhere. The only answer that isn't talking about answer number 1, I tripped on something is answer A.

Answer 2

A, I decided to take a trip to my grandmother's house for my break.

Step-by-step explanation:

The verb ' to trip' has different meanings in the English language.

To trip can mean to catch one's foot on something and stumble and fall.

Be careful, or you will trip on the carpet !

I have a tendency to trip over things when I run.

The thief tried to break in, but he tripped the alarm and was caught.

It can also mean to walk, run or dance with quick steps.

As a noun, a trip means a journey or an excursion.

My family is taking a trip to the Grand Canyon this summer = my family is going on an excursion, therefore the same context as the above is conveyed in the sentence: I decided to take a trip to my grandmother's house for my break.
