Question

Whom did the grandmother feed in the city?

Answer 1

Answer:

The grandmother used to feed the sparrows in the city from her balcony.

Explanation:

In the story, "The Portrait of a lady", the author Khushwant Singh describes her grandmother as a really kind woman. In village, she would carry several chapattis to feed the village dogs on the way to school. When she came to the town, her activities became restricted. With the absence of dogs, she started feeding sparrows within the courtyard of their city house. From sunrise until sunset, she sat by her wheel spinning, reciting prayers and only in the afternoon she relaxed for a while to feed the sparrows. The sparrows would sit everywhere on grandmother's body, but she never shoo’d them away. She rather enjoyed it.
