Explanation:

grampa is sensitive to birfoots lack of knowledge

The theme is about the fact that, "Grampa is sensitive to Birdfoot’s lack of knowledge." As a result, option (b) or (ii) is the correct hint to the excerpt's theme.

What is the theme that age brings wisdom?

Grampa is not agitated, not startled (there was no actual humor), and not impressed, as seen by his tone of voice and word choice. If he smiled and then spoke, this leaves him vulnerable.

Birdfoot isn't joking, and Grampa isn't impressed. Grampa is smart, not impatient, and is unconcerned with the passage of time or Birdfoot's lack of knowledge.

Therefore, option (b) or (ii) is the correct clue.
