Answer 1

The significance of Faizula's reaction when the young man says "Ramadan Mubarak" implies that Faizula is not used to meeting people who share his culture. So, the right answer is Option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Faizula is a flower shop owner and a young man is making a purchase of roses. He finally decides that he wants to buy one rose and asks Faizula how much it costed. Faizula replied that it costed two dollars. The man gave him a five-dollar bill and asked Faizula to keep the change. On hearing this, he felt very happy and smiled at him.

The young man thanked him and when Faizula started towards plying his wares, the young man wished him “Ramadan Mubarak.” Listening to this he replied back but was a little surprised as didn’t meet many from his culture. The man then looks at the clock and declares that sundown is just a minute away. He further asks Faizula whether he would break his fast along with him and takes out a box of dates and grapes.
