Answer:
B - The parents denying their children the use of the rocket
C - Wealthy
Explanation:
The Veldt is a science fiction short story written by Ray Bradbury. It tells about a mother's and father's struggle with their technologically advanced home taking over their role as parents, and their children becoming impossible to deal with as a result of their lack of discipline.
The excerpt you were given is the following:
"I don't know anything," he said, "except that I'm beginning to be sorry we bought that room for the children. If children are neurotic at all, a room like that -"
"It's supposed to help them work off their neuroses in a healthful way."
"I'm starting to wonder." He stared at the ceiling.
"We've given the children everything they ever wanted. Is this our reward—secrecy, disobedience?"
"Who was it said, 'Children are carpets, they should be stepped on occasionally'? We've never lifted a hand. They're insufferable—let's admit it. They come and go when they like; they treat us as if we were offspring. They're spoiled and we're spoiled."
"They've been acting funny ever since you forbade them to take the rocket to New York a few months ago."
"They're not old enough to do that alone, I explained."
"Nevertheless, I've noticed they've been decidedly cool toward us since."
"I think I'll have David McClean come tomorrow morning to have a look at Africa."
"But it's not Africa now, it's Green Mansions country and Rima."
"I have a feeling it'll be Africa again before then."
A moment later they heard the screams.
Two screams. Two people screaming from downstairs. And then a roar of lions.
"Wendy and Peter aren't in their rooms," said his wife.
He lay in his bed with his beating heart. "No," he said. "They've broken into the nursery."
"Those screams—they sound familiar."
"Do they?"
"Yes, awfully."
The details such as a room that can cure neuroses and a roar of lions can be a bit confusing, but do not make us think that the story takes place in the future. It could also be some kind of an alternate universe. What we do associate with the future, though, is the use of the rocket to travel. That's why the correct answer is B.
The correct answer to the second question is C - wealthy. A loving, trusting, close-knit family does not behave like this. We can see that the parents are concerned, yes, but their comments about their children are not loving or trusting. They did buy an entire neuroses-curing room for them, though, so we can clearly see that they are wealthy.
The inference shows that the story takes place in the future as B the parents denying their children the use of the rocket.
What is an inference?
It should be noted that an inference simply means the conclusion that can be deduced from the information given.
In this case, story takes place in the future as the parents denying their children the use of the rocket.
