Multiple choice

The tailor seems to remember every little thing. Which are those little things?

Directions: Read the following passage carefully and answer the question.

Our tailor is Indian in his ways. He is not methodical. He is slow, spontaneously jocular, and able to entertain us for weeks with the saga of his family. He seems to remember every little thing that has ever happened to his grandparents, his aunts and uncle, his nieces and nephews. He will tell the sahib all the family troubles- how he is forced to work so many hour, and how difficult it is to pay for his children's education. And would it be possible to get his son a job in a government office, and couldn't you speak to so and about his daughter, who would like to serve in a good house and would be a very faithful servant? When he has the ear of a sahib, he grumbles, and for a piece of good work he expects to be rewarded with favours. We feel personally involved with him.
