Which sentence from the passage best supports the idea that the father was acting differently toward his son? excerpt from New History by A. Gautam I did not know I knew so little about my father. The afternoon he picked me up from the airport was the first time I noticed his shriveled looks. I gave my father a hug and felt his bones in my arms. With Mom in the hospice, I figured he was not eating well. Instead of requesting him to take me to a drive-through restaurant because I could not wait for food till we got home, I kept thinking about my father's thin frame. Even his eyes seemed to stray into the distance as we waited for my luggage. He did not notice me trying to grab the suitcase from the conveyor belt.

They are letting me retake the mid-terms I missed. Can you believe it?" "Well, you are their star player. I am glad you are dedicated to your studies, too, my boy!" my father said, driving slowly. How did he know I was getting serious about school?, I wondered. I hadn't told anyone about my plans for college either. I watched him as if I was really seeing him for the first time in my life. Then, I noticed that I had just seen him and not re
