Answers
Answer: Option A: Aunt Ruby had become hostile towards her pet and someone had to feed it
Explanation:
Aunt Ruby bought a parrot from a bird-catcher who used to visit her locality and sell caged birds. She was very keen to buy one and train it to talk.
Aunt Ruby made numerous attempt to become friendly with the bird and even tried to make her talk but she failed. The bird did not show any sign of liking towards Aunt Ruby. As a result she soon gave up her idea of making the bird talk to her.
On one occasion the parrot even lunged forward without any sign of warning and knocked Aunt spectacles off her nose. This made her dislike and even also unfriendly towards the parrot. She started making faces at the bird and even taunted with words like "Can't sing, can't dance!".
This resulted in someone else to take care of the bird and even feed her time to time.
Hope this helps.
