Answer 2

Answer:

There was a portrait of the narrator's late grandfather  in which -

• He wore a big turban and loose fitting clothes.
• He had long, white beard that covered the best part of his chest.
• He looked at least a hundred years old.
• He did not look the sort of person who could have a wife or children.
• He could only have lots and lots of grandchildren.

Explanation:

• In the story "The Portrait of a lady" by Khuswant Singh, the narrator didn't see his grandfather physically as he was already dead. There was only a portrait of him hung above the mantlepiece in the drawing room.
• Seeing the portrait of his grandfather, the narrator felt that he was so old that he could only be a grandfather, not a father or husband.
• The grandmother of the narrator was still alive. She was extremely old too and looked like a winter landscape with all white.
