Let's read the text again...
My grandfather the fisherman always told me that the best way to communicate with fish is to drop them a line.
There are three phrases that help us to understand the pun in the text: The grandfather is a fisherman, it means his job is to catch fish, by communicate he means to make the fish come closer, and by drop them a line he means the fishing rod thread.
Taking the above into account the correct answers are:
A.“communicate” and “drop them a line”
B.The pun plays on a phrase that means both to send a note and to attempt to catch a fish.
The right answer is: D) "Jem ran to the kitchen (...) we had company". Jem invites Walter Cunningham to lunch when he finds out that he has nothing to eat. Walter hesitates, but ends up accepting the invitation. At the Finch house, Atticus and Walter discuss technical matters of the field, and Scout is overwhelmed by his mature discourse. Walter asks for more molasses and pours it in the meat and the vegetables. Scout asks him straight out what he´s doing, and Calpurnia gives him a lesson on how to treat guests, even if the are from families like the Cunningham.
