At the beginning of chapter 16, why was the Giver gentle with Jonas and the memories he transmitted?

I do not see the answer choices, but I hope this helps.

Explanation:

The Giver transmits some really good memories to Jonas:  a birthday party; this shows Jonas how nice it is to be singled out as an individual, instead of always the same as everyone else.  Another example is the memory of sitting beside a campfire - this gives him the feeling of the joy of solitude.

The Giver shares his owns memories of Christmas and Love.
