Which line from “The Medicine Bag” best illustrates Martin’s conflict with Grandpa’s arrival?

A. “Yet I was so proud of this eighty-six-year-old man, who had never been away from the reservation, having the courage to travel so far alone.”

B.“His get-up wasn’t out of place on the reservation, but it sure was here, and I wanted to sink right through the pavement.”

C. “Soon after our visit to him, Grandpa decided that he would like to see where his only living descendants lived and what our home was like.”

D.“My kid sister Cheryl and I always bragged about our Sioux grandpa, Joe Iron Shell.”

B.“His get-up wasn’t out of place on the reservation, but it sure was here, and I wanted to sink right through the pavement.”

Explanation:

The short story "The Medicine Bag" by Virginia Driving Hawk Sneve tells the story of a young boy named Martin who used to brag about his Sioux grandfather Joe Iron Shell. But his demeanor changed the moment his grandfather decided to come to his home in person.

Martin loved talking about his grandfather, telling his friends who have a picture of Martin's grandfather as someone larger than life, making "Grandpa and the reservation sound  glamorous". And everything went well as long as grandpa stayed in the reservation but the moment he decided to visit Martin's family in Iowa, he felt unsure. This is because his friends will now see the real grandfather he had boasted so much about and then see the reality of the man they had thought to be an impressive and great man. The main conflict is shown when Martin admitted he "wanted to sink right through the pavement". He felt ashamed of the way his grandfather had dressed, admitting that his get-up was out of place for his neighborhood even if it wasn't for the reservation.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

the sentence that avoid faulty coordination is:

culture, which is well represented in philadelphia, plays a major role including theatre, music, and the visual arts.  

faulty coordination occurs when the writer gives equal importance two different ideas (clauses) which in fact are not equivalent. in order to correct a misplaced clause or idea, the writer can place less important or emphatic ideas in a relative clause as in the previous sentence.
