Answer:
B Kevin went to collect pens and pencils from an elementary school near her house.
Explanation:
A pronoun is a word that is used in place of a noun or a noun phrase. In the second sentence the writer, applied a wrong usage or application of the pronoun her to Kevin who is most likely a boy because boys are known to bear the name Kevin. So, instead of this usage of the pronoun her, the author should have used him. Therefore the correct rendering of this sentence is;
Kevin went to collect pens and pencils from an elementary school near his house.

Answer:
The author is able to personalize the event by using the words we and us.
Explanation:
The fact that "Night" is a memoir rather than a biography or informational text helps the author achieve his purpose in the excerpt by allowing him to personalize the events by using the pronouns "we" and "us".
A memoir is historical account or biography based on personal knowledge and experience , therefore the author's purpose is achieved because he is able to personalize the experience. Using those pronouns helped bring the readers closer to the action and allowed them to "see" and "feel" the writer's emotions.
