Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow. 'Papa did not look up when I came in. He was bent over the ledger as he had been bent over it every evening of my childhood, the kerosene lamp throwing his shadow huge against the wall so that the small, stooped man at the table seemed to have a giant standing guard behind him. I put the envelope beside his elbow. He did not touch it. "University," he said at last, and the word sat between us like a third person neither of us had invited. Then he closed the ledger, very gently, the way you close the eyes of the dead, and I understood that the money for my fees and the money for the shop's new roof were the same money, and that he had already decided which of us would go without.'
