Read the following paragraph from "The Tall Woman and Her Short Husband."

When the weather turned warmer Mrs. Tall came out. After so long in bed her face was deathly white, and she swayed from side to side. She held a cane in her right hand and kept her elbow bent in front of her. Her half-paralysed left leg made walking difficult. She had obviously had a stroke. Every morning and every evening Mr. Short helped her twice round the yard, painfully and slowly. By hunching up his shoulders he was able to grip her crooked arm in both hands. It was hard for him, but he smiled to encourage her. As she couldn't raise her left foot, he tied a rope round it and pulled this up when she wanted to take a step forward.

All of the following words could be used to describe the relationship between Mrs. Tall and Mr. Short
a. awkward.
b. devoted
c. patient
d. tender

Answer:

  • Patient

Step-by-step explanation:

The Tall Woman and Her Short Husband During the course of this short story the creator figures out how to bring out different various reactions to the story. From laughter and humor toward the start to blame and regret toward the end. The principal area is very interesting. The writer is making the peruser consider what we have perused. In this area the creator talks how we are raised with a specific perspective on things and on the off chance that a person or thing does not fit to our thoughts we think that its weird and difficult to understand.
