Answer: B. By having Ruth feel pride toward Walter after her initial indifference, the author leaves the reader feeling satisfied with their relationship.

Walter has been a complicated character throughout the play. Unhappy with his financial situation, he is desperate to improve it, at the same time as he is ashamed because of his inability to provide for his family. This leads him to make bad financial decisions that only leave the family in a worse situation. This has also taken a toll on his relationship with Ruth. However, in this scene, we see Walter has changed, and Ruth has noticed. She is extremely proud of him, which implies that their relationship will survive.

Fill in the blanks to compare how<br> Grandpa and Dad see the past.
Hatshy [7]

To compare the points of view of Grandpa and Dad about the past first read the information about them, list the points of view of each person, and finally identify common points and differences through keywords.

<h3>What is to compare?</h3>

A comparison implies identifying both the common points (similarities) and contrasting points (differences) of two or more elements.

<h3>What are the steps to compare Grandpa and Dad's perspectives?</h3>

Even though there is not enough information about who they are or their ideas about the past; here are some basic steps you can follow:

  • Carefully read the information about them: The first step is to read and analyze the information of the source about Grandpa and Dad.
  • Identify the point of view of each person: After reading the information about them, you need to identify what each person thinks about the past.
  • Find similarities and contrasting ideas: Finally, you can compare and contrast the points to view to find out how similar or different they are.

Note: This question is incomplete because there is no information about the perspectives of the people mentioned; due to this, I answered it based on general knowledge.
