B. The sickness of Phoenix Jackson’s grandson.
C. Phoenix Jackson’s journey into town.
D. The callous behavior of the people Phoenix Jackson meets.

Answer 1

I think the answer is B because the grandson is sick which may mean that he is worn out and he can't do much about it

Answer 2

Answer: C. Phoenix Jackson’s journey into town.

Explanation:

In the short story "A Worn Path" by Eudora Welty, an elderly African American woman called Phoenix Jackson begins a well-known journey on a path in a rural region to obtain medicine for her grandson.

Phoenix's journey is a metaphor for Phoenix's whole life, as her life is long, hard, and a challenge that she has overcome in order to keep going.
