What is the main idea of paragraph 14?

He waited for me to speak. I cleared my throat nervously and clasped my hands behind
my back so he wouldn’t see them shaking. “Grandpa, I have a big favor to ask of you,” I said in Spanish, the only language he knew. He still waited silently; I tried again. “Grandpa, this year the principal said the scholarship jacket is not going to be free. It’s going to cost fifteen dollars and I have to take the money tomorrow, otherwise it’ll be given to someone else.” The last words came out in an eager rush. Grandpa straightened up tiredly and leaned his chin on the handle. He looked over the field that was filled with the tiny green bean plants. I waited, desperately hoping he’d say I could have the money. He turned to me and asked quietly, “What does a scholarship jacket mean?”

A) It is hard work for Grandpa to keep up with the bean fields.

B) Grandpa cannot afford to give Martha the money for the jacket.

C) It is very hard for Martha to communicate with Grandpa because he only knows Spanish.

D) Martha finding the courage to ask her grandfather to pay for the scholarship jacket.

Read the following excerpt from "dark tower" by claude mckay before you choose your answer. "we shall not always plant while others reap the golden increment of bursting fruit, nor always countenance, abject and mute, that lesser men should hold their brothers cheap; not everlastingly while others sleep shall we beguile their limbs with mellow flute, not always bend to some more subtle brute. we were not made eternally to weep. the night, whose sable breast relieves the stark, white stars, is no less lovely being dark; and there are buds that cannot bloom at all in light, but crumple, piteous, and fall. so in the dark we hid the heart that bleeds, and wait, and tend our agonizing needs." in context, the expression "the night, whose sable breast relieves the stark,/ white stars, is no less lovely being dark; " is best interpreted as a. the light of the stars overpowers the black of night b. the black of night overpowers the light of the stars c. black and white contribute equally to the beauty of the night sky d. black and white continuously compete for prominence in the night sky
