Question

which quote from the story best supports the idea that isabella suspects her grandfather is only pretending to be sick? i scanned my notes. i had a lot of material, for sure, but i was no closer to the truth. grandpa was silent now, letting my dad and aunt allison do the talking. the two were deep in conversation. he seemed to have fully recovered, and yet, i reflected, we were barely any closer to sea level.

Explanation:

The correct quote shows Isabella observes her grandfather appears fully recovered, which would lead her to suspect he is faking sickness, as his condition contradicts the idea he is truly ill. The other quotes do not reference any observation that would support suspicion of faking illness.

Answer:

He seemed to have fully recovered, and yet, I reflected, we were barely any closer to sea level.
