उत्तर
Yes, I knew someone like the author’s grandmother. It was my own grandmother who passed away recently. The intense sense of loss is very heart-wrenching as I spent almost fifteen years of my life with her.
Or
No, I have never known someone the way the author knew his grandmother. Thus, I have never felt a sense of grief presented in the story.
