Explanation

The speaker connects the Catholic practice of sprinkling holy water with the Pueblo belief that it will ease Grandpa’s thirst after death. This blending of Catholic ritual with Pueblo spiritual ideas supports choice A, “She follows some of the spiritual ideas of the Pueblo people.” The passage does not show her seeking Father Paul’s guidance or asking him to give Teofilo last rites.
