The best answers inferred from the text are these:

Question 1.

The answer is 2, Jerome learns to translate his desire to help others into action. This is because he felt he wanted to something more, as soon as he knew about Martin´s mother, and this was the reason to go talk to his mother, asking for advice. Answer 1, is not something that Jerome might have though at least there is no evidence of that in the text, as well as answer 4; answer 3, Jerome realizes that offers of support probably are not enough rather than concluding they are helpful.

Question 2.

The answer fo this question, without any doubts is 1, because in the context this word is used, it refers to a house which was destroyed by a fire as they saw on the news. The other options are not actually linked to this section.

Question  3.

The answer is 1, Actions speak louder than words. This is because Jerome discovered that many people sent a message to Martin, but nobody actually showed up at his place. He discovered how important is to do something meaningful for other people, that a simple gesture means more than many words. Certainly, answers 2,3 and 4 might be true, and somewhat connected to some parts of the story, but answer 1 has a direct connection with the theme.

Question 4.

Answer for this question: Number 3. She encouraged his son to go to Martin´s place and offer some food. From th text it is reasonable to infer that Jerome´s mother realized that he wanted to do something more, but probably he did not really know exactly what. That is what she did: she gave her son a way to express what he was feeling,  instead of lecturing him or recommending to wait or sharing her loss experiences.

Question 5.

And finally the best answer in this case, would be 3: Jerome returned to his room with his mother´s advice weighing on his mind. The reason, is because this quotation best summarizes a crucial moment: Jerome realizes that he should do something more, that he needs to translate his feelings into action and so he found a way. Options 1, 2 and 4 are part of the narrative and only represent some specific moments in the story.

Question 1: answer is 2. Jerome learns to translate his desire to help others into action.

Question 2: answer is 1. Remains after something has been ruined.

Question 3: Part A is 1. Actions speak louder than words

Question 4: Part A is actually 3. she encourages her son to go visit his friend, rather than send his condolences.

Question 5: Part B is actually, 2. "What do you plan to do for him?" his mother asked.
