B. B. that he wants other people to think he is clever and mature

Explanation:

George Willard is the main character in Sherwood Anderson's "Winesburg, Ohio".

George's life is followed through stories, showing development of his character, the transition from adolescent to adult years, growing up in a small town and relations he has with other people.

George somewhat fears how will older members of his community look to him because of his age.

The phrase "to appear green" is connected to the fruits; most fruits look green until they mature.
