ANSWER: The two lines that shows that Emperor Nero was ruthless are:
1. “Bring him to me here this instant,” said he, “and let Marcus with his knife and branding-iron be in attendance.”
and
2. "I have half a mind to burn their town about their ears so that they may remember my visit."
These were the two lines from the excerpt which states the ruthlessness of Emperor Nero. He wanted to kill the man because he became more popular than him amongst the common people. Emperor Nero could not bear this popularity which is why he wanted to burn the village down to make his presence remembered.

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.
