Question

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!!! WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!!!!!
Read this excerpt from "Birdfoot's Grampa.”
But, leathery hands full
of wet brown life,
knee deep in the summer
roadside grass,
he just smiled and said
they have places to go to
too.

How does the line "he just smiled and said” provide a clue to the theme that age brings wisdom?

A. Grampa is impressed with Birdfoot’s use of humor.
B. Grampa is sensitive to Birdfoot’s lack of knowledge.
C. Grampa is impatient with Birdfoot’s arguments.
D. Grampa is surprised by Birdfoot’s ignorance.

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Grampa is sensitive to Birdfoot’s lack of knowledge.

Explanation:

The tone of voice, and word choice shows he is not impatient not surprised (there wasn't really humor) and not impressed. This leaves sensitive, if he smiled and then talked. Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is B

Explanation:

I just took the test- Grampa is no impressed because Birdfoot is not joking. Grampa is not impatient, but wise and doesn't care about time or Birdfoot's lack of knowledge. Grampa is not surprised.
