Which is the best paraphrase of these lines from "Grandma Ling"?

and there I faced
my five foot height, sturdy legs and feet, (1 point)

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

3. In "Grandma Ling," how does the speaker meet her grandmother? (1 point)

She leaves China and joins her grandmother in Pennsylvania.
She travels to Taiwan and meets her grandmother there.
She meets her every time she looks in a mirror, since the resemblance is so strong.
She "digs a hole to China" and meets her grandmother in the world of imagination.

help??

Here's the poem.

Grandma Ling

Amy Ling

If you dig that hole deep enough,
you’ll reach China, they used to tell me,
a child in a back yard in Pennsylvania.
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 measure
the tatami floor with even step;
the aqua paper-covered 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.
