Answer 1

None of the described events occur in the story presented, which is actually 'Everyday Use' by Alice Walker, not 'On the way to Florida'. The events in the options come from 'A Good Man is Hard to Find' by Flannery O'Connor.

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the details provided, none of the events listed in options A, B, C, and D occur in the story described. The story you've narrated seems to be a synopsis of 'Everyday Use' by Alice Walker, not 'On the way to Florida'. The events listed in the options are, apparently, from a different story titled 'A Good Man is Hard to Find' by Flannery O'Connor. Therefore, none of the given options can be considered correct in the context of the question asked.
