Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is "This dialogue between George and Hazel portrays George as a static character because he has accepted society’s rules and does not try to challenge them”.

Explanation:

George’s behaviour conforms to the social norms established by the uniform society he lives in. He is used to being monitored by handicaps so the canvas bag does not represent an extra weight for him. As his words show "I don’t notice it any more. It’s just a part of me,” he has naturalized the device as part of his body and as a static character remains the same without undergoing inner changes.
