Explanation:

First Question ("What items does Dally give Ponyboy and Johnny?")

To answer, we recall the plot of The Outsiders. Dally (Dallas Winston) gives Ponyboy and Johnny a T - shirt (Buck Merrill’s for Ponyboy), a loaded gun, and 50 bucks to help them after Johnny kills a Soc. The other options are either plot - irrelevant (like info about Socs’ location, their girlfriends, or legal consequences) or incorrect.

From the novel, when Ponyboy and Johnny brought Soda, Steve, and Two - Bit to mass, the three misbehaved, embarrassing Ponyboy and Johnny. The other options (preferring other services, disagreeing with teachings, finding it boring) don't match the novel's explanation.

In the relevant chapter of The Outsiders, Ponyboy and Johnny go to the park at the beginning. The other options (the rabbit, on a walk, the school) are not where they go as per the novel's plot.

Answer:

• one of Buck Merrill's T - shirts (for Ponyboy)
• a loaded gun
• 50 bucks
