Explanation:

The question asks to select two quotes from paragraph 1 that introduce the idea that Jonathan's grandpa passed away. The key is to look for text that implies the grandfather is no longer alive. The phrase "yet another reminder of Grandpa" suggests that Grandpa is not present anymore (since reminders are of something/someone gone). The action of Jonathan touching the binoculars "as if touching them could somehow draw Grandpa closer" also implies that Grandpa is not physically there (i.e., has passed away).

Answer:

"A pair of binoculars hung from the back door hook, yet another reminder of Grandpa" and "On his way out the back door, Jonathan touched the binoculars, as if touching them could somehow draw Grandpa closer"
