Explanation:
Let's work this one out through elimination:
A. The opening paragraph DOES establish a relationship between the narrator and a character. We are immediately told they are uncle and nephew.
B. This seems to be the right choice for us. There is not a lot of action going on. We do not know what the uncle is listening for, what to expect, what is going on. This dragging creates some suspense as we wait for the action to start.

B. He is resourceful and patient.
