Question

read the poem. then, review the bolded text in the first stanza.
a gift for gram
this week is my grandmas birthday,
and for her gift? i have no clue!
my sister got her a necklace,
perfect, silver, shiny, new.
ive thought and thought for days now
about what gift to get.
i shouldnt pick out something
that she would open, then forget.
so i hunted inside the closet
for a box from long ago.
i found some paper and some glue,
and pasted photos in a row.
when gram unwrapped my present,
her smile was like the sun above.
she had a scrapbook of family photos,
with years of memories and love.
the bolded text requires an inference, or a guess, about missing details. based on the text, which sentence is most likely to be true?
the speaker doesnt think his grandma will like his sisters gift.
the speaker is worried that whatever gift he gets his grandma wont be as good as his sisters.

Explanation:

The first stanza shows the speaker has no gift idea while their sister has a nice, polished silver necklace. The speaker focuses on finding a gift the grandma won't forget, not criticizing the sister's gift. Their stress comes from fearing their gift can't measure up to the sister's thoughtful, nice present.

Answer:

The speaker is worried that whatever gift he gets his grandma won't be as good as his sister's.
