Answer 1

The evidence from the story that supports the claim that the Grandmother in 'A Good Man is Hard to Find' compromises her faith and beliefs is that she suggests Christ did not die for our sins.

Step-by-step explanation:

The evidence from the story that might support the claim that the Grandmother in 'A Good Man is Hard to Find' compromises her faith and beliefs is:

1. She suggests Christ did not die for our sins. This can be seen in the following dialogue: 'Maybe He didn't raise the dead,' the old lady mumbled, not knowing what she was saying and feeling so dizzy that she sank down in the ditch with her legs twisted under her. 'I wasn't there so I can't say He didn't,' The Misfit said. 'I wisht I had of been there,' he said, hitting the ground with his fist. 'It ain't right I wasn't there because if I had of been there I would of known. Listen lady,' he said in a high voice, 'if I had of been there I would of known and I wouldn't be like I am now.' His voice seemed about to crack and the grandmother's head cleared for an instant.

Therefore, option 1) 'She suggests Christ did not die for our sins' is the evidence from the story that supports the claim.'
