Answer 1

Answer: (E)

Significance of the grandfathers message

Both of her grandfather's quote left a great impact on her as is conveyed to the reader when the author says, "...even before I had made a conscious decision to teach as well as act, that my grandfather's words would be important." From this, we can conclude that both versions of the grandfather's words primarily convey the significance of the grandfather's message. Thus E is the best answer. The other options are incorrect because they do not fit the context of the sentence.
