B.The priest dragged a chair out of the kitchen and offered it to Leon. “No thank you, Father. I only came to ask you if you would bring your holy water to the graveyard.”

C.“‘Why didn’t you tell me he was dead? I could have brought the Last Rites anyway.” Leon smiled. “It wasn’t necessary, Father.”

D. Leon put on his green cap and pulled the flaps down over his ears. “It’s getting late, Father. I’ve got to go.” When Leon opened the door Father Paul stood up and said, "Wait."

Answer:

B.The priest dragged a chair out of the kitchen and offered it to Leon. “No thank you, Father. I only came to ask you if you would bring your holy water to the graveyard.”

Explanation:

 "The Man to Send Rain Clouds" is a short story by American Indians compiled by the anthropologist Kenneth Rosen. It tells the story of the death of an old man Teolilo from the Laguna Pueblo tribe. Soon after the body was discovered by his grandson Leon and Ken, the husband of Leon's sister, they began preparing for it's burial. The story revolves round the conflicting spiritual traditions of the Indians and the Christian religion. Here, Leon doesn't think it is necessary to inform the local priest about his grandfather's death as the burial traditions aren't even similar. So, when his sister suggests that Father Paul sprinkle holy water on Teolilo, he only agrees because of the reason provided by Loiuse that their grandfather may not be thirsty in the afterlife. This is evident in the above dialogue where he said that he's come to the Father only to ask for the holy water and nothing else.
