According to the text, what led to Grandfather's infection?
According to the text, what led to Grandfather's infection?
It is true that Grandfather was 104-years-old, but this is not why he got an infection. It was in fact his football injury which led to his injury.
Although Kevin's grandfather had an affinity for whiskey, his difficulties with alcohol are unrelated to his football injury. It is not stated that Grandfather was drunk at the time of his injury.
Kevin writes that his grandfather "scratched his shin" as a result of a football injury. A "scratch" is a minor "cut" to the surface of the skin. It was this scratch which then became infected and eventually led to Grandfather's death.
This statement is not true. Kevin writes that his grandfather "refused medical attention" because he did not believe in modern medicine.
