Which best explains Gideon's final words to Teddy and what they mean: "Ah, Little Yellow Head, how you have grown! Soon you will be grown up with a farm of your own…" Gideon is hopeful that Teddy will be different than the other whites and will see blacks as equals Gideon realizes Teddy is just as prejudiced now as the other whites toward blacks and sees him as just a servant Gideon knows that Teddy will soon be grown and become a "master" just like the other whites Gideon knows that Teddy is a man and will soon be married and will inherit the farm from his father and run it

This question seems to be incomplete. However, there is enough information to find the right answer.

Answer: Gideon knows that Teddy will soon be grown and become a "master" just like the other whites

Step-by-step explanation:

“No Witchcraft for Sale,” by Doris Lessing, is the story of a black servant cook, Gideon, his employers, a white South African couple, and their son, Teddy. Although They all seem to have a nice relationship, and Teddy becomes good friends with Teddy, the racial tension grows throughout the story, and Gideon realizes that his employers and even the little boiy are prejudice towards him because of the color of his skin and his cultural background. When, by the end of the story, Gideon tells Teddy that he´ll grow up to have a farm of his own, although it seems like a loving comment, it shows that Gideon has understood that Teddy will become like his parents.
