Answer 1

A, barely acknowledges their existence

Answer 2

A. barely acknowledges their existence.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the story "A Christmas Memory" by Truman Capote, we meet Buddy. He is a seven-year-old boy living in the South during the Great Depression. Buddy's best friend is his elderly, distant cousin, who he loves dearly. However, he barely acknowledges the existence of his other relatives. The story focuses on the Christmas that Buddy shares with his cousin, and on how their relationship develops as he gets older.
