yes. you are correct
No. Sturdy legs are not necessarily thick legs.
This is Grandma Ling
If you dig that hole deep enough
you'll reach China, they used to tell me,
a child in a backyard in Pennysylvania.
Not strong enough to dig that hole,
I waited twenty years,
then sailed back, half way around the world.
In Taiwan I first met Grandma.
Before she came to view, I heard
her slippered feet softly meause
the tatmi floor with even step;
the aqua paper-ccovered door slid open
and there I faced
my five foot height, sturdy legs and feet,
square forehead, high cheeks, and wide-set eyes;
my image stood before me,
acted on by fifty years.
She smiled, stretched her arms
to take to heart the eldest daughter
of her youngest son a quarter century away,
She spoke a tongue I knew no word of,
and I was sad I could not understand,
but I could hug her.
Is the answer maybe A?
Yes. A is correct.
Thank you:)
