Explanation

The statement is true. The context clearly mentions that the narrator referred to the grandmother as 'my first student' and gave her a gift. When the grandmother opened the gift and immediately read the title 'Kashi Yatre by Triveni and the publisher's name', the narrator knew her student had 'passed with flying colours'. This confirms that the narrator was the grandmother's teacher and successfully taught her how to read Kannada.

Solution Steps

  1. Step 1: Identify the relationship between the narrator and the grandmother from the context - the narrator calls the grandmother 'my first student'.

  2. Step 2: Verify that the grandmother learned to read Kannada - she read the title 'Kashi Yatre by Triveni' and the publisher's name.

  3. Step 3: Conclude that the narrator was indeed the grandmother's first teacher who taught her to read Kannada, making the statement True.
