Question

Read the sentences from Barrio Boy by Ernesto Galarza. I grabbed the chain with both hands and pulled. A small torrent of water gushed into the bowl, swirling and disappearing down the drain with a deep, sonorous gargle. I waited a few minutes and pulled the chain again. That night I got up several times to go to the toilet, until I was ordered to go to sleep. Why does Ernesto go to the toilet several times?

Answer 1

He is fascinated by the invention

Explanation:

I did the test, so I know that is the right answer. However, the test I took was the "Figurative Language in Barrio Boy" one from Calvert Academy in the 7th grade.

Answer 2

He is fascinated by the invention.

Step-by-step explanation:

The way he describes it (A small torrent of water gushed into the bowl, swirling and disappearing down the drain with a deep, sonorous gargle) shows his fascination with this bathroom fixture. To the boy it was, indeed, a fascinating invention because the place he had lived in before had no running water or sewage system.

Hope this helps!
