Which of the following defines "grace" as it is used in the sentence above?

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

From context, where the landlord is allowing the speaker to pay his rent a few days late, we can conclude that grace here means "extra time to do something."
A beautiful movement of the body is incorrect. One of the meanings of grace is "a beautiful movement of the body." (e.g. The ballerina moved with incredible grace.) However, from the context of the target sentence, we can conclude that the word is not used that way here.
Kind or pleasant behavior is incorrect. One of the meanings of grace is "kind or pleasant behavior." (e.g. She embodies the character's essential kindness and grace.) However, from the context of the target sentence, we can conclude that the word is not used that way here.
Something that is regarded as true is incorrect. When placed in the context of the target sentence, this answer choice does not make sense. Therefore, it cannot be a correct answer choice.
