Answer:

The correct answer is "This dialogue between George and Hazel portrays George as a static character because he has accepted society’s rules and does not try to challenge them”.

Explanation:

George’s behaviour conforms to the social norms established by the uniform society he lives in. He is used to being monitored by handicaps so the canvas bag does not represent an extra weight for him. As his words show "I don’t notice it any more. It’s just a part of me,” he has naturalized the device as part of his body and as a static character remains the same without undergoing inner changes.

Emily: I never felt so alone in my whole life. And George over there, looking so...I hate him. I wish I were dead. Papa! Papa!
Maru [420]
It’s clear that George and Emily feel hopeless in this situation. They do not want to be marry, but they are being forced to. Universality is when something may apply to a large group of people, maybe even everyone, such as universal themes.

Emily and George’s reluctance shows this to many different types of groups. Smaller groups of people who are forced in to arranged marriages or pressured to marry a person they don’t love can greatly relate to this, as they feel trapped in a fate that they don’t like and don’t want to go through with.

However, on a bigger scale, it can also apply to everyone. Every single person on this planet has had moments where they’ve felt utterly trapped and hopeless when being forced to do something or witness something. It could be as small as being called on by the teacher when you don’t know the answer to the question, or as big as being forced to live with someone who you don’t like for the rest of your life.

This reluctance that Emily and George show in their following through with their marriage can be relatable to everybody, no matter on what scale that relatability can be found.

Answer:

jumble the words together in the description

convey the main character’s chaotic mental state

Explanation:

This is a way that the writer shows us a complex connection of the many, many pieces around that make a living, complicated whole that we are not supposed to understand, but perceive as confusing and beyond our grasp. This is also a way to show the mind of the character: <em>"[...]and a thousand parts too small or two complex or too divorced from their origin or context or too specialized and thus identifiable only by their creator"</em>
