Question

Read the following excerpt from the "The Jilting of Granny Weatherall" by Katherine Anne Porter: In her day she had kept a better house and had got more work done. She wasn't too old yet for Lydia to be driving eighty miles for advice when one of the children jumped the track, and Jimmy still dropped in and talked things over: "Now, Mammy, you've a good business head, I want to know what you think of this? . . ." Old. Cornelia couldn't change the furniture around without asking. Which phrase from the excerpt most clearly conveys the main character's resistance to conventional ideas?

Answer 1

Answer: The answer is too old yet.

Explanation: Learning Center. Good Luck!

Answer 2

I would say the correct answer is too old yet.
Granny is saying how everything is different now - how she used to keep a better house, and get more work done in the past. Now, she is getting too old to keep up with these new changes, and she is somewhat resisting the conventional ideas.
