Read the following excerpt Patricia Hampl's "The Need to Say it" and answer the question.

She kept her distance from the word of English, but she lavished attention on her lodge newspaper which came once a month, written in the quaint nineteenth-century Czech she and her generation had brought to America before the turn of the century. Like a wedding cake saved from the feast, this language, over the years, had become a fossil, still recognized but no longer something to be put in the mouth.

In the excerpt above, what does the author imply about the Grandmother?

She enjoyed reading current events from her native town and country.

She held English books far away from her face.

She was jealous of her newspaper.

She also read her local newspaper.
