First thing is to read it, and understand it fully, so that you get the hang of what you are doing.

Answer:
The Pedestrians are free to come and go and choose the way and time they want to walk. On the other hand, the people inside their houses are considered to be in a graveyard, are compared to the dead, with no life, activity or freedom. Specific textual evidence:
What Leonard Mead loves most in the world is taking solitary evening walks through the city. At intersections, he peers in all directions, choosing which way to go...on these nights, he´ll walk for hours, passing darkened houses, whish is like "walking through a graveyard"...all he sees inside are flickers of light, "gray phantoms" or murmurs from open windows of "tomb like" buildings.
Explanation:
The only character that really enjoys freedom is Leonard Mead; he is free to come and go at any time or to any place he wishes. The others are confined in their homes with no freedom at all, like the dead in their tombs, with no life, no movement, no freedom.
I'd say b, but I feel this could be somewhat open to interpretation.
Answer:
Second option: Animals bred through pet shops suffer health problems.
Third Option: People need to adopt animals instead of going to pet shops.
Explanation:
These two ideas best summarize the ideas presented in the excerpt. Speaker's main purpose is to persuade the audience not to buy animals from pet store instead adopt them from animal shelter, he (speaker) needs to give audience a reason why they should not buy from pet stores. This reason is provided in the second option i.e these animals suffer health problems. The third option is the conclusion and purpose of the speech. So this point too is required for summarizing the speech.
First and fourth options, although relevant, are less important when considering the purpose of the speech.
Fifth option is neither part of the speech, not speaker's purpose.
