Question

3. Mr. Norton’s heart attack is brought on by A. the narrator’s driving B. excessive drinking C. feelings of grief over his daughter’s death D. the shock of Jim Trueblood’s story

Answer 1

The answer is C. feelings of grief over his daughter’s death.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mr. Norton's heart attack is caused by feelings of pain caused by the death of his daughter. Immediately after the death of a relative, the probability of having a heart attack is 21 times higher than normal. With the passing of the days this risk decreases, but even so, over a week it remains multiplied by six.
