The answer is:

Her mother is frail and aging.

By saying this and adding this unnecesary details to the story the author wants you to sympathize with his mother, in a way that we all do with grandmas because of that fragility.

How is refutation effective in forwarding your position in a debate?
ale4655 [162]
D. It attacks the opposition's evidence so they cannot prove their point.

If you point out one of your opponent's facts and then show how it is wrong you are strengthening the proof of your own point. You are showing that you have done the research into your opponent's side but understand how your point is still stronger.
