When Manual talks about his granny, he tells us a story about an insane old woman. His grandmother was a vivacious and cheery old woman. She had spent her days cooking amuse the troops of the government that were stationed around the Golden Bridge.
As for why she is insane This part of the text justifies it: <em>"She was crazy," Manual insisted, "because she only charged them for the cost of the food she cooked, and she didn't earn a penny for all that work.“</em>
So, to Manual, making food for the troops was crazy because she didn't earn any money from doing so. This part of the text most likely tell us more about the narrator than about Granny.
Answer:
"He was the finest young man that she had ever seen, he had given her three golden apples, and he had risked his life to win her."
Explanation:
The Greek mythology of Atalanta tells the story of the human huntress who was so adamant about being victorious over everyone and staying unmarried forever. But when Hippomenes came and participated in the competition for her hand in marriage, she 'intentionally' let him win so as to be married to him.
In the given excerpt, Atlanta was kept distracted by Hippomenes by using the three magical golden apples given by Aphrodite. Though distracted by the golden apples, she was also a bit interested in Hippomenes that she did not mind letting him win. She observed,<em> "He was the finest young man that she had ever seen, he had given her three golden apples, and he had risked his life to win her."
</em>
Thus, the correct answer to the question is the third option.
