Select the correct text in the passage.

Which two phrases most strongly support the idea that Lucene and Hallax were initially resistant to their father getting a new job?

Beginning A New Life

Lucene's family quickly decided to move away from Lunapolis because her father was newly-hired as the chief engineer of a time machine building lab in Solariz City. Initially, both Lucene and her brother Hallax had protested the move, and they had even unsuccessfully attempted to stay back in Lunapolis with their grandparents.
Now that they were at Solariz City, Lucene's parents tried to cheer up Lucene and Hallax by insisting that everyone have dinner together in the dome-shaped chamber instead of eating alone in their respective pods. Her father had even managed to get part-time jobs for the siblings. That night, Lucene wanted to retire to her sleeping pod early. She didn't want to arrive late on the first day at her new job. She always felt that not being on time was a sign of disrespect.
After dinner though, Lucene ended up on the floating balcony of her new home. Standing on her balcony, she intently observed the view. She could still see people returning homes in their flying cars.
Solariz City was like no other settlement that Lucene had seen before. The skyline beamed with towers topped with gold-colored domes.
Lucene soon went to sleep thinking about whether she would like working at the time machine lab the way her father did.
The next day, Lucene joined her father at the lab. She listened in awe as he explained the functions of the machine to her. When her father was done, Lucene decided to take a tour of the lab. With every room Lucene explored, she began to wonder about all the things she could learn about her family's history.
