Explanation:

The question asks to identify two sentences that develop the theme about the old making way for the young and jealousy causing conflict. The sentence "Why, you see, Edmond... we are all mortal, and the old must make way for the young. If not, why, there would be no promotion, and since you assure me that the cargo -" discusses the old making way for the young in the context of promotion. The sentence "How could that bring me into trouble, sir? asked Dantès, for I did not even know of what I was the bearer, and the emperor merely made such inquiries as he would of the first comer." shows how innocent actions can lead to trouble which can be related to jealousy causing conflict as others might be jealous of Dantès' situation even if he is unaware.

"How could that bring me into trouble, sir? asked Dantès, for I did not even know of what I was the bearer, and the emperor merely made such inquiries as he would of the first comer." (Par. 58)
