Answer:
B. Despite an early shared interest in the tree, the parents react less strongly than the narrator to what they learn about the tree.
Explanation:
Anthony Lentini's short story "Autumntime" revolves around the story of a young protagonist and his parents' visit to a 'natural site', where a real tree grows and had survived. The plot is set in a futuristic world where nothing natural thrives and everything is more technological than natural.
The unnamed narrator and his parents had gone on a family trip to Boston to see the only surviving and a thriving tree that had secretly survived the onslaught of scientific development. The narrator revealed he had secretly pocketed <em>"an acorn"</em> from the tree they visited, and that would be the reminder of his trip to see the living, natural tree. And when he learned of the plan to 'remove' the tree in the next year, he seemed distraught and deeply affected, though that couldn't be said of his parents. Maybe the parents had known this was coming or are just accustomed to the change, though it was a new thing for the boy.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.

Explanation:
Rebecca Saxe is an associated member of the <em>McGovern Institute</em> in the MIT. She and her colleagues conducted an experiment on morals and social habits for the <em>Massachusetts Institute of Technology</em>.
The central ideas of her work can be summarized as follows:
-When people join together in groups, anything can happen; the best and the worst.
-There is a positive side of those alliances but there is always a dark side. Belonging to any kind of group make people to cause some kind of harm to the people outside that group.
-As an expert in <em>cognitive neuroscience</em>, Saxe expresses that "people that belong to a group commit actions that often are against the moral standards of every person in the group". That means that isolated, one individual could behave with high standards of morality, but as a member, he can do quite the contrary to what he believes in personally.
-When a member belongs to a group, he acts differently because he senses some kind of anonymity and a lack of responsibility for the group actions.
-The hypothesis of the research considers that when individuals join a group they forget their morals and personal beliefs and are prone to participate in activities they personally consider questionable.
