She knows this conductress and normally has a good relationship with her.

3.

Why does Iza go to Gica's house before Antal's? (from Part IV: Air, Chapter 2)

Antal is not home, so Iza thinks Gica will be able to help her.

Iza has forgotten where Antal lives.

4.

Why does the author mention Ettie and Vince taking Iza to the lake to feed the carp? (from Part I: Earth, Chapter 2)

To show that Ettie's life is meaningless without Iza.

To show how Ettie's thoughts keep returning to the past.

Because it shows Iza's caring nature.

5.

Why is Lidia upset that Iza tried to give her money for caring for Vince? (from Part IV: Air, Chapter 3)

It is against the rules for her to accept money from patients' families and she does not want to get in trouble.
