Answer:

b. He is impressed by Leo’s future status.

Explanation:

Bernard Malamud's short story "The Magic Barrel" is a story about a young rabbinical student's attempts to find a girl to date. Throughout the story, he gets lots of internal conflicts and obstacles which he then take out on his marriage broker and the girl he went out with.

Leo Finkle is a student of Yeshivah University when he contacted Pinye Salzman to help him find a probable girl to date and if possible, to eventually marry. The marriage broker at first addressed the student as "rabbi" which he strongly oppose f and told him to call him "Mr. Finkle". But this did not change the broker's mind who decided to call him doctor but reverted back to "rabbi" when he did not notice. Though Leo may have felt uncomfortable being addressed as a "rabbi" before he had finished his studies and earned the title, the broker was more impressed with his future status and wanted to lay emphasis on what holds for Leo in the future. he seemed to have a huge respect for Leo which he expressed and showed through his constant addressing of Leo as "rabbi".

What happens when Jem, Scout, and Dill try to enter the Radley yard in chapter 6 of To Kill A Mockingbird
meriva
Jem and Dill want to sneak over to the Radley place and peek into one of their windows. Scout doesn't want them to do it, but Jem accuses her of being girlish, an insult she can't bear, and she goes along with it. They sneak under a wire fence and go through a gate. At the window, Scout and Jem hoist Dill up to peek in the window. Dill sees nothing, only curtains and a small faraway light. The boys want to try a back window instead, despite Scout's pleas to leave. As Jem is raising his head to look in, the shadow of a man appears and crosses over him. As soon as it's gone, the three children run as fast as they can back home, but Jem loses his pants in the gate. As they run, they hear a shotgun sound somewhere behind them.
