Answer 1

The bishop is foolish and allows Valjean to steal from him; this leads to the climax of the story.

Answer 2

Option A)The bishop is foolish and allows Valjean to steal from him; this leads to the climax of the story.

Step-by-step explanation:

The bishop at times was imprudent with his judgements. The bishop, in his kindness, moves Valijean but does not regenerate him. This is where the climax of the story builds up. Thus, rising stealthily and quietly in the middle of the night, the ex-convict steals precious treasure from the kind host. Thus, the folly of the bishop was made manifest.
