To accurately determine how George's point of view differs from Mr. Little's in the passage from "Wineburg, Ohio: Departure" by Sherwood Anderson, we would need to analyze their sentiments and attitudes toward leaving home.
Based on the answer options provided, we can deduce:
- **Option A** suggests a contrast between George's eagerness to leave and Mr. Little's jealousy. This does not necessarily reflect concern or a hopeful outlook.
- **Option B** indicates that George is confident about leaving, while Mr. Little is worried. If Mr. Little's perspective is more supportive or nostalgic rather than worried, this may not be the correct interpretation.
- **Option C** presents George as nervous and Mr. Little as confident in George's potential. This option highlights an emotional contrast but may not capture Mr. Little's own views about leaving per se.
- **Option D** posits that George is hopeful about his departure, while Mr. Little reflects on the experiences of others who have left.
Without having the text in front of us, the best inference might be **Option D**, as it captures the different emotional responses: George's hopefulness about taking a new step in life and Mr. Little's reflective nature on past departures, suggesting a more wistful or nostalgic perspective.
Thus, the appropriate answer is likely **D**: George feels hopeful about leaving his hometown, while Mr. Little reflects on the many people he has seen leave home before.
