Answer 1

The best inference about why Jonas took the apple home is:

B. He wanted to study the apple because it changed in some way.

In the story, the apple changes in a way that Jonas notices, which is significant in the context of his developing awareness and the theme of perception in the book. His curiosity about the change in the apple suggests that he wants to explore the meaning behind it.
