Answer 1

Answer:

Question 1.

the thought was almost revolting

Answer:

The thought that the author’s grandmother was once young and pretty raises a doubt in the mind of the author. He finds it too hard to believe, as he had always seen her in the same old and wrinkled physical condition for the last twenty years.

Question 2.

an expanse of pure white serenity

Answer:

It refers to the calm, peaceful and serene character and conduct of the author’s grandmother. She is compared to the peaceful winter landscape in the mountains. She was always attired in spotless white clothes and had silver hair. She, thus, presented a picture of pure white serenity.
