Answer 1

A, as bleak places are usually not a place where apples could grow.

Answer 2

Answer: A. bleak and unfavorable places where typically nothing thrives.

Step-by-step explanation: Based on the given excerpt we can assume that the internment camps (where the speaker and his father are going) are bleak and unfavorable places where typically nothing thrives. We can know that because the speaker wants to bring tomato seeds to the camp, because he wants to grow them, but the father tells him that where they are going (the internment camp) they won't grow.
