This question seems to refer to the short story "By the Waters of Babylon," by author Stephen Vincent Benét.

Answer:

I believe there are two correct answers for this question. Since you did not post anything about how many options should be checked, I will select both of them.

The dialogue develops the characters by showing how:

B. the son has grown stronger and wiser than his father.

C. both men respect their traditions and love one another

Explanation:

The dialogue between John and his father in "By the Waters of Babylon" reveals how much John has grown. Now that he has become a man, he asks his father for permission to leave their land. John is a priest, just like his father. This is a post-apocalyptic scenario in which societal beliefs are based on superstitions and the fear of the unknown.

John wants to leave and explore, but his father fears for him. They love and respect each other. John would not leave without his father's permission; his father would not let John leave without giving him his blessing:

"My son," he said. "Once I had young dreams. If your dreams do not eat you up, you  may be a great priest. If they eat you, you are still my son. Now go on your journey."

John and his father follow the traditions and rules of their people. John does not stop obeying them just because he is leaving. Quite the contrary, he maintains and respects them, just like his father:

That night, in the house of the priesthood, I asked for and received purification.

The dialogue also reveals how much stronger and wiser than his own father John has grown. While his father is still attached to superstitions, John wishes to know more and learn the truth:

His eyes were stern when I told him he was  no longer my father but a priest. [...]

"This is a very strong dream," he said." It may eat you up."

"I am not afraid," I said and looked at him with both eyes.

Which three lines in this excerpt from Anita Desais "Games at Twilight" clearly show an omniscient narrator?
They faced the afternoon. It was too hot. Too bright. The white wals of the veranda glared stridently in the sun. The bougainvillea hung aboutit.
purple and magenta. in livid balioons. The garden outside was like a tray made of beaten brass, flattened out on the red gravel and the stony
soil in all shades of metal-aluminum, tin, copper, and brass. No life stirred at this arid time of day-the birds stil drooped, like dead fruit. in the
papery tents of the trees: some squirrels lay limp on the wet earth under the garden tap. The outdoor dog lay stretched as if dead on the
veranda mat. his paws and ears and tail all reaching out like dying travelers in search of water. He rolled his eyes at the children-two white
marbles rolling in the purple sockets, begging for sympathyand attempted to lift his tail in a wag but could not. It only twitched and lay still.
Then. perhaps roused by the shrieks of the children, a band of parrots suddenly fell out of the eucalyptus tree, tumbled franticaly in the still.
sizzling air, then sorted themselves out into battle formation and streaked away across the white sky.
The children, too, felt released. They too began tumbling, shoving. pushing against each other, frantic to start. Start what? Start their business.
The business of the children's day which is-play.

The story "The Veldt" by Ray Bradbury takes place in a futuristic setting where technology does just about everything for families. The children in
this story, Wendy and Peter, have a room called the nursery which is made up of five wall-sized TV screens which cover each wall and the ceiling
Every part of the room is there to make your experience inside it feel as realistic as possible. Their parents, George and Lydia, are growing more
and more concerned that their children seem to be fixated with visiting an African veldt in the nursery. Every time they go in, they see them in
the hot, dry air Watching lions feast on their prey in the background. Eventually, their parents become so concerned that they lock up the
nursery. Peter in response makes vague threats toward his father. After this, George invites over his friend, David, who is a psychologist to get
his perspective on the situation. George and David find that the children have broken into the nursery and are sitting in the African veldt again.
After analyzing the scene left in the nursery, David recommends that George shut the house off entirely. The children throw a hysterical tantrum
at having the house shut off and scream that they wish their parents were dead. Eventually their hysterics are enough to convince their parents
to let them in the nursery one last time before they leave on a vacation and shut the house off for good. When David returns to take the family
to their vacation, he finds only the children in the nursery.
Which evidence best supports the theme that relying too heavily on technology can be a bad thing?
O "I feel like I don't belong here. This house is wife and mother now, and nursemaid. Can I compete with an African velde? Can I give a bath
and scrub the children as efficiently or quickly as the automatic scrub bath can? I cannot" (Bradbury 4).
O "They were awfully young, Wendy and Peter, for death thoughts" (Bradbury 5).
O "And although their bed tried very hard, the two adults couldn't be rocked to sleep for another hour" (Bradbury 8).
O "This house which clothed and fed and rocked them to sleep and played and sang as was good to them" (Bradbury 2).
O "A psychologist never saw a fact in his life. He only hears about feelings, vague things" (Bradbury 10).
