Which line from “The Medicine Bag” best illustrates Martin’s conflict with Grandpa’s arrival?

A. “Yet I was so proud of this eighty-six-year-old man, who had never been away from the reservation, having the courage to travel so far alone.”

B.“His get-up wasn’t out of place on the reservation, but it sure was here, and I wanted to sink right through the pavement.”

C. “Soon after our visit to him, Grandpa decided that he would like to see where his only living descendants lived and what our home was like.”

D.“My kid sister Cheryl and I always bragged about our Sioux grandpa, Joe Iron Shell.”

B.“His get-up wasn’t out of place on the reservation, but it sure was here, and I wanted to sink right through the pavement.”

Explanation:

The short story "The Medicine Bag" by Virginia Driving Hawk Sneve tells the story of a young boy named Martin who used to brag about his Sioux grandfather Joe Iron Shell. But his demeanor changed the moment his grandfather decided to come to his home in person.

Martin loved talking about his grandfather, telling his friends who have a picture of Martin's grandfather as someone larger than life, making "Grandpa and the reservation sound  glamorous". And everything went well as long as grandpa stayed in the reservation but the moment he decided to visit Martin's family in Iowa, he felt unsure. This is because his friends will now see the real grandfather he had boasted so much about and then see the reality of the man they had thought to be an impressive and great man. The main conflict is shown when Martin admitted he "wanted to sink right through the pavement". He felt ashamed of the way his grandfather had dressed, admitting that his get-up was out of place for his neighborhood even if it wasn't for the reservation.

Thus, the correct answer is option B.
