How is grandmother's dream different from reality?
>Last night I dreamed of an old lover
I had not seen him in forty years.
When I awoke,
I saw him on the street.
His hair was white, his back was stooped.
How could I say hello?
He would have puzzled all day
about who the young girl was
who smiled at him.
So I let him go on his way.

Was too old
So what’s the answers
TKU :)
You're welcome.
To answer the first question, we can look at the last stanza of the poem where the grandmother says, "So I let him go on his way." From this, we can infer that she let her former lover go on his way because she believed that he wouldn't know who she was if she spoke to him.
To answer the second question, we can examine the first line of the poem where the grandmother says, "Last night I dreamed of an old lover." This suggests that the idea of getting old bothers her and is a source of discomfort for her, at least in her dreams. Therefore, option 2, "It frightens her a great deal," seems to be the most appropriate answer.
