Question

Read the sentences from Barrio Boy by Ernesto Galarza.

I grabbed the chain with both hands and pulled. A small torrent of water gushed into the bowl, swirling and disappearing down the drain with a deep, sonorous gargle. I waited a few minutes and pulled the chain again.

That night I got up several times to go to the toilet, until I was ordered to go to sleep.

Why does Ernesto go to the toilet several times?

He has an upset stomach.
He is fascinated by the invention.
He drank a lot of water with his dinner.
He is trying to get his mother's attention.

Answer 1

Answer: He is fascinated by the invention

Answer 2

He is fascinated by the invention.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ernesto Galarza was born in a small Mexican village which did not have a sewage system. Small wonder that, when he saw a toilet for the first time, he was fascinated by "this invention" and wanted to see it work again and again.
