Does anyone know the answer read the passage. excerpt from "my aunt gold teeth" by v. s. naipaul ramprasad died early next morning and we had the announcement on the radio after the local news at one o'clock. ramprasad's death was the only one announced and so, although it came between commercials, it made some impression. we buried him that afternoon in mucurapo cemetry. as soon as we got back my grandmother said, "i have always said it, and i will say it again: i don't like these christian things. ramprasad would have got better if only you, gold teeth, had listened to me and not gone running after these christian things." gold teeth sobbed her assent; and her body squabbered and shook as she confessed the whole story of her trafficking with christianity. we listened in astonishment and shame. we didn't know that a good hindu, and a member of our family, could sink so low. gold teeth beat her breast and pulled ineffectually at her long hair and begged to be forgiven. "it is all my fault," she cried. "my own fault, ma. i fell in a moment of weakness. then i just couldn't stop." my grandmother's shame turned to pity. "it's all right, gold teeth. perhaps it was this you needed to bring you back to your senses." that evening gold teeth ritually destroyed every reminder of christianity in the house. "you have only yourself to blame," my grandmother said, "if you have no children now to look after you." refer to explorations in literature for a complete version of this story. how does aunt gold teeth’s culture influence her actions? a. aunt gold teeth blames herself for her failure to serve her husband and have children; her failure to accomplish this is due to her lack of faith. b. great loss must be endured before great things can happen; aunt gold teeth knows this is a test and responds by throwing away her christian items. c. her family is ashamed because she prayed to a christian god; they cast her out of the family because of her faults. d. aunt gold teeth knows that faith is paramount in her culture; her failure to pray to the hindu gods leads to the death of her husband, ramprasad.
