How does Sairy Wilson help the family at Granpa's death?

• A. She lends the Bible to pick scripture
• B. She gives a quilt to bury the body
• C. She lends the Bible and gives a quilt
• D. She helps bury the body

Answer: (C)

The main idea being tested is what specific help Sairy Wilson provides at Grandpa’s death and how that shows neighborly support in hard times. She does two things: she lends them her Bible so they can choose scripture for the funeral, and she also gives them a quilt to use for the burial. The Bible offers familiar, comforting religious words that can ease the grieving process, while the quilt provides a practical, tangible memento or covering for the body, reflecting care and generosity. Together, these actions capture both the spiritual and practical ways a neighbor steps in during a painful moment, which is why this combined help is the best description. The others are incomplete—she doesn’t bury the body herself, and lending only the Bible or only the quilt misses the full support she provides.
