Answer:
Letter B is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Idioms are a type of figurative language, and they express a feeling and every word should be understood as a whole and the meaning is not literal. Idioms are also untranslatable and we can't find an example of this in the excerpt.
An onomatopoeia is a word that tries to imitate sounds of a person, animal, or thing, creating a sound effect to make the description more expressive. In the excerpt, we can't see any of them.
Personification is when an animal or thing is given human characteristics. There isn't anything like that in the excerpt.
A simile is intended to show similarities between two different nouns and it normally uses the words like or as. In this case, the speaker is comparing the board with house of cards build by a child when he says "like a house that..." making letter B the correct answer.

Answer:
1) Jonas instantly becomes different. He is someone who is respected but not one of them. He is more or less an outcast.
2)Asher is satisfied with the status quo. His small quirks are accepted and even celebrated by the Elders. He fits the narrow definition of "normality" in the community. Jonas questions the community and the rigid control wielded by the Elders. He evolves quickly past the status quo and has certain capabilities that no other child has.
3)Gabriel was too weak to be named and given to a family. Jonas' father fought to get Gabriel in the next batch of children instead of being released.
4)This is somewhat ironic considering the "sameness" of the community as a whole. The Elder is merely relating minor differences in personality of the kids. The Elders actually demand conformity for these kids and only give the illusion of diversity through the ceremony.
5)Jonas reviews the rules for his assignment, and he is unnerved about rule number six, which forbids him from taking any medication related to his training. Jonas remembers that the Chief Elder had mentioned that he would experience an extreme amount of pain.
