The correct option is option a.) Her grandmother enjoyed reading current events from her native town and country.

EXPLANATION:  

  • In the given passage, the author clearly states that the author and her family were migrants who were originally from Czech republic, and they migrated to America at the end of the nineteenth century.
  • But, they were very eager to preserve their culture, traditions and language even after coming to America.
  • Her dedication to preserve her own language, which was native Czech can be seen from the fact that she eagerly waits for about one month for the newspaper which was from her native town and country and she also did not liked to read the English newspapers of America.
