In "first confession", grandmother's gift of a penny to nora most likely indicates that:
1.) she is stingy and mean-hearted.
2.) the story takes place many years ago.
3.) the family is experiencing difficult times.
4.) nora put her finger above a candle.

The impression that indicates the Grandmother's gift of a penny to Nora is found in letter B. the story takes place many years age. I hope you are satisfied with my answer and feel free to ask for more if you have clarifications and further questions. Have a nice day
