Final answer:
In the novel 'Unwind', Pastor Dan is the character who takes the baby before Connor and Risa leave, indicating the correct answer is B) Pastor Dan. Pastor Dan is known for helping Unwinds by providing them with shelter and assistance.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is related to events that occur in the novel Unwind, which involves characters named Connor, Risa, and Lev. In the context of the novel, these characters are embroiled in a situation where unwanted teenagers are sent to be 'unwound,' a process by which all of their body parts are transplanted into different recipients. This makes the correct answer to the question, which asks who takes the baby before Connor and Risa leave, B) Pastor Dan. Pastor Dan is introduced as a character who helps Unwinds (children set to be unwound) by giving them food and shelter before they escape or turn themselves in for unwinding.
Throughout Unwind, Pastor Dan plays an important role as an adult sympathetic to the plight of these teenagers, offering whatever help he can. While Lev initially believes strongly in being tithed (which is his term for being unwound), his interactions with Pastor Dan and the other characters lead to a profound change in his beliefs about unwinding. The novel, therefore, not only delves into the action of its plot but also explores deeper themes of morality, the sanctity of life, and what it means to truly 'exist.'
