Question: I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: My grandfather was a teacher.He was the headmaster of a school for boys between the ages of thirteen and eighteen.I know that he was a kind and gentle man at heart,because when I was young (and he was old),he gave me presents and seated me on his knees,and told me stories.But I believe the boys at his school were afraid of him. At school,when he walked into a classroom full of noisy boys,those boys went red in the faces,and looked down at their shoes.If a boy brought his poor,careless work,which was not the best that boy could do,my grandfather picked up the boy's work and threw it across the room,shouting,"Do it all again,and bring it back early tomorrow morning!" If the boy was late,or if he forgot to bring the work,he had to do it again.My grandfather never forgot. He was a very different man at school,from the man I saw day by day in his own home. Question: My grandfather didn't like to receive _ . Options: A: worse work than he could do himself B: work that the boys could not do C: work that was not as good as the boys could do D: the work that the boys did
Answer: C

Question: I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: I recently read about a wonderful act of kindness. It is about the country singer, Jan Howard, and it happened in the mid 1950s. You can read about it in her autobiography , Sunshine and Shadow.

These kind people allowed her to stay for two weeks until she received some money in the mail from a . They fed and cared for Jan and her children.
