のに最も適当なものを、それぞれ下の{1}〜{4}のうちから一つずつ選べ。

 "Christine, come and help me in the garden. I want to plant all of the
seeds today." My father was calling to me. "I'm busy," I said. My father
loves his garden, but at that time I didn't understand why working in the
dirt excited him so much.
By the end of April, his plants had come up in neat rows, and he put
wooden stakes marked with the name of the vegetable on each row.
Unfortunately, in early May, my father was seriously injured in an
accident. He was in the hospital for about two months and during that time
he often asked me about his garden. Even after he came home, he had to
stay in bed for a while. My mother had several business trips so she
couldn't take care of the garden. I didn't want my father to worry, so
without being asked, I said that I would take care of his garden until he
recovered. I assumed that the little plants would continue to grow as long
as they had water, and luckily it rained fairly often so I didn't think
much about the garden.
One Saturday morning in July, my father said to me, "Christine, I think
that the vegetables should be about ready to be picked. Let's have a salad
today?" I took a bowl and went out to the garden. I looked at the leaf
lettuce and was upset to see that many of the leaves had been half eaten.
There were hundreds of bugs all over them! I tried to get them off, but
there were just too many. I looked at the carrots next, but they didn't
look healthy. I pulled up a carrot, but it was tiny and looked like
something had taken small bites from it.
I panicked for a moment, but then thought of a good idea. I got my wallet,
quickly went out the door, and rode my bicycle to the nearest store to buy
some vegetables. I went back home and cut them up to make a salad for my
father.
When I gave it to him, he said, "Oh, Christine, what a beautiful salad!
I can't believe the carrots are this big already. The lettuce is so crisp
and delicious. You must be taking very good care of my garden." My father
looked happy, but I felt a little bit guilty.
I went back to the kitchen and was cleaning up when my mother came home
from her most recent business trip. She saw the bag from the supermarket.
I was embarrassed when she looked at me. So, I confessed, "Dad wanted a
salad, but the garden was a disaster. I didn't want to disappoint him so
I went to the store." She laughed but promised to make time to help me
in the garden, and we worked hard for the next few weeks. We made a mixture
of water with chopped-up fresh hot peppers and then sprayed it on the
vegetables. I thought this was a great idea because the spray is not
harmful to humans or animals, or even the bugs. They simply don't like the
spicy water. The [bug-free] vegetables grew quickly, and finally I was
able to pick some.
I carefully made a salad and took it to my father. He looked at it with
hint of a smile. "Christine, the carrots are smaller in this salad, but
they taste better." I realized that he had known all along about my
shopping trip. I smiled back at him.
Now, I better understand how putting a lot of effort into caring for
something can help you appreciate the results more, however small they may
be. Perhaps this was one of the reasons for my father's love of gardening.
In a few day he'll be back in the garden. I'll be right beside him helping
him in any way I can.

難解な表現や語句はあまりないので、比較的読みやすい文章だったのではないかと
思います。

この問いの内容を意識しながら、本文を読んでいきましょう!
まず第1段落。
