Question 3

To determine the event marking the start of the narrator's changing relationship with her grandfather, we analyze the options. Handing a strawberry and encouraging her to eat it is a personal, connecting gesture that likely initiates a shift in their relationship. Teaching about soil or telling long stories are less likely to be the initial trigger of a relationship change compared to a direct, shared moment like offering a strawberry.

To find the meaning of "plentiful" in "The garden was both beautiful and plentiful", we analyze the options. "Ordinary" and "Empty" don't fit as the garden is beautiful, so it should have an abundance of something. "Full and abundant" matches the context of a garden being fruitful or having many plants/harvest, so "plentiful" means full and abundant.

The climax of a story is the most intense or turning point. The narrator joining her grandfather in the garden and eating strawberries with him is a significant, resolving moment (likely after build - up), while spending time with grandmother or grandfather planting a patch are more like rising action or setup. So the climax is the narrator joining her grandfather in the garden and eating strawberries with him.

Answer:

A. He hands her a strawberry and encourages her to eat it
