Asked by Callie

Which is the best paraphrase of these lines from "Grandma Ling"?
and there I faced
My five foot height, sturdy legs and feet,

A. And there I saw someone the same height as me, with strong legs and feet.
B. And there I stood as tall as I could on strong legs and feet to face someone much shorter.
C. And there I accepted that I was five feet tall, with thick legs and feet.
D. And there I observed someone else who was five feet tall, with slim legs and feet.

Is the answer C?
Thank you

No. Sturdy legs are not necessarily thick legs.

This is Grandma Ling
If you dig that hole deep enough
you'll reach China, they used to tell me,
a child in a backyard in Pennysylvania.
Not strong enough to dig that hole,
I waited twenty years,
then sailed back, half way around the world.

In Taiwan I first met Grandma.
Before she came to view, I heard
her slippered feet softly meause
the tatmi floor with even step;
the aqua paper-ccovered door slid open
and there I faced
my five foot height, sturdy legs and feet,
square forehead, high cheeks, and wide-set eyes;
my image stood before me,
acted on by fifty years.

She smiled, stretched her arms
to take to heart the eldest daughter
of her youngest son a quarter century away,
She spoke a tongue I knew no word of,
and I was sad I could not understand,
but I could hug her.

Is the answer maybe A?
Answered by Ms. Sue
