The correct response is:
**Scout is curious about Boo as a mystery, while Jem begins to see Boo as a person who may be lonely and kind.**
In Chapters 5–7 of "To Kill a Mockingbird," Scout is initially fascinated by the mystery surrounding Boo Radley, viewing him through a lens of curiosity and intrigue. As the story progresses, Jem's perspective shifts towards a more empathetic understanding, recognizing that Boo might be a lonely individual who needs compassion rather than fear. This contrast highlights their differing stages of emotional development and understanding of human complexity.
