Question

‘I offered to take her in here for a day or two, but she seemed to think it might distress you.” The Bishop wanted to take Mere Grngoire in because _________. (i) she was sick (ii) she had no money (iii) she was unable to pay the rent of her house (iv) she was a close friend of Persome

Answer 1

The Bishop offered to take Mere Gringoire as she was sick and had no money to pay the rent.

Explanation:

She suffered from illness and therefore was unable to earn money. If she delays paying the rent, the landlord threatened to throw her out of the house. To manage the situation, the bishop offered her a place to say. Since she thought it would distress him, the bishop sold the silver salt-cellars and gave her the money to pay the rent.
