Read the passage given below and answer the question that follow by choosing the correct option out of the given one:
In my grandmother’s room, the books were lying down; she used to borrow them from a lending library and I never saw more than two at a time. These trashy works reminded me of New Year sweetmeats because their shiny flexible covers seemed to be cut out of glazed paper. Bright, white, almost new, they served as an excuse for petty mysteries.
Each Friday, my grandmother would get dressed to go out and say: ‘I’m going to take them back;’ when she returned, and had taken off her black hat and her veil, she would take them out of her muff and I would wonder mystified: ‘Are they the same ones?’ She used to ‘cover’ them carefully and then, having chosen one, she would settle herself by the window, in her winged armchair, put on her spectacles, sigh with pleasure and weariness, and lower her eyelids with a delicately voluptuous smile which I have since discovered on the lips of the Mona Lisa; my mother would fall silent, inviting me to keep quiet, and I would think about Mass, death or sleep: I invested myself with a holy silence. From time to time, Louise would give a chuckle; she would call to her daughter, point at a line and the two women would exchange a conspiratorial look.
Which of the following statements is not TRUE?
