Question

Which quote from Dragonwings by Laurence Yep best shows that the man is pleasantly surprised by Father’s refusal to take the tip?

“The demon stopped and studied Father as you might look at a dog that had suddenly said he was going to the opera. ‘Well, I'll be damned,’ he said.”
“‘Here, John.’ The demon unbuttoned his coat and reached into his pants pocket, but Father shook his head.”
“Skeptically, the demon got back behind the wheel while Father went to the front near the crank to start the motor.”
“He had hardly heard the demon until the demon tapped him on the shoulder. ‘You sabe me? Garage. Repair my Oldsmobile.’”

Answer 1

“The demon stopped and studied Father as you might look at a dog that had suddenly said he was going to the opera. ‘Well, I'll be damned,’ he said.”

Reason: the simile and the line “Well, I'll be damned” convey amused, pleasantly surprised astonishment.
