Answer: A) Dave resembles a child since his entire paycheck is given to his mother.

Explanation: The excerpt shows Dave wanting to buy a gun using money earned at Old Joe's store; however, Old Joe gives his wages to Dave’s mother. Consequently, Dave plans to ask his mother for some of that money to purchase a gun. This suggests Dave is still childlike because despite being almost seventeen, he does not control his own pay.

From the passage, the reader can deduce that Dave behaves childishly because all his earnings are handed over to his mother. Since he is only 17 years old (yet already desires to purchase a gun), it’s understandable that his salary goes directly to her.

Bond [7527]
In Things Fall Apart, the main character Okonkwo is also viewed as a tragic hero. A tragic hero holds a significant societal position, makes their own choices, has a tragic flaw, and understands the events leading to their downfall. Okonkwo's key flaw is his intense fear of being perceived as weak or a failure. I hope this is beneficial.
