1. At the beginning of Part 2, Jem is growing out of childhood into his teenage years. Therefore, he spends less time with his child sister Scout. For example, when he walks with her to school, he tells her that she is to stick with her own classmates and not seek him during recess. He also spends more time in his own bedroom, rather than playing with Scout and Dill in the garden. Jem's attitude toward Scout becomes somewhat patronizing. Before, he used to share with her books and magazines so that she could enjoy them; now he does so as a means to educate her. Jem has also developed an interest in football and wishes to join the local team; for the time being, he is only allowed to participate as a water carrier.
2. As Jem takes distance from Scout, she seeks company and comfort by spending time with Calpurnia in the kitchen. Calpurnia welcomes this change. Scout used to think of herself as a boy because this allowed her to share in her brother's and Dill's adventures rather limit her play to serving pretend tea; now, as she sees Calpurnia's work in cooking the family's meals, she begins to appreciate the skills that such work requires, ahd she sees that a woman's world is not as limited as she had thought.
3. When Calpurnia invites Jem and Scout to go to her church, the cnildren are welcomed by the black community because their father Atticus is defending Tom Robinson at court. Tom has been falsely accused of having raped a white woman, and, although Attiucs knows that he has no chances of winning the trial because the jury is bound to be biased toward the white accuser, he does his best to provide a good defense for Tom.
4. Aunt Alexandra comes to live at her brother Atticus' house because she feels that the require more feminine influence. Atticus is a widower, and, although the children have had a good role model in Calpurnia, Aunt Alexandra is concerned about Scout being a tomboy and wishes her to develop her feminine traits and learn how to behave as a young lady.
5. At first, Atticus tells his children that they must obay their Aunt Alexandra as much as himself or Calpurnia because, like them, she is in charge. The children see their aunt as someone who is breaking the happy order of things in their home. Yet, as the days go by, although Attiucs does not always agree with all the new rules that Aunt Alexandra has brought to his household, he explains to his children her perspective and her wish to bring an improvement on the family. Therefore, the answer to this question is D. As the children learn to understand Aunt Alexandra better, she too becomes more open to understand them, and she learns to appreciate Atticus' way of bringing his children up with profound values. Scout also becomes more appreciative of her Aunt and her efforts to integrate her into the feminine world.
