The following question refers to “The Grandfather.”
Grandfather’s pockets are described as tight-lipped because he carried a leather wallet that creaked when he opened it.

True

False

Answer 1

I think the first question's answer is D because he's describing the jays with great detail.

The second question is false I believe. I read some of this story to answer this.

Answer 2

D and false are the correct answers.

Step-by-step explanation:

As stated at the beginning, both questions refer to The Grandfather, by G. Soto.

Imagery is the use of figurative language in order to represent objects, actions, and ideas in a way that they appeal to the senses. Due to this, letter D is the correct answer.

The second question is false because the pockets were not described like that in the story.
