Question

"You found the money in my boots?" he asked Mom. "Martin did," she answered, and roused herself to scold. "Grandpa, you shouldn't have carried so much money. What if someone had stolen it from you?" Grandpa laughed. "I would've known if anyone tried to take the boots off my feet. The money is what I've saved for a long time—a hundred dollars—for my funeral. But you take it now to buy groceries so that I won't be a burden to you while I am here." Which statement is best supported by the dialogue? Grandpa is upset because they removed the money from his boots. Grandpa believes that it is time to begin preparing for his death. Mom offends Grandpa when she scolds him about the money. Mom is angry that Grandpa came to her home uninvited.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The correct answer is "grandpa believes that it is time to begin preparing for his death".

Explanation:

• Grandpa wasn't upset because of the money stealing, instead he laughed of the possibility of having his shoes stealed without noticing it.
• For the same reason, mom did not offend grandpa, but scolded him and he found it funny.
• The last sentence is also wrong; mom became angry because grandpa wanted to wander in the streets with too much money with him.

Therefore, grandpa was, as he said, saving money for his funeral, since he is already old. However, he did not mind his money was used to buy items in the grocery, since this way he was being useful to his family.
