What will Shmuel gain from Bruno going under the fence?

• A. Someone to help him look for his papa
• B. A new friend
• C. A safe place to stay
• D. Money for food

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is how taking a risk to help a friend can create a concrete, practical benefit in a tough situation. In the story, Shmuel is inside the camp and deeply wants to find his papa, but the fence and the danger make that nearly impossible on his own. When Bruno goes under the fence to help him, he becomes a real ally in the search. That help—having someone to join him in looking for his father—is what Shmuel gains most directly. It gives him companionship and a practical chance to locate his papa, which is the immediate need at that moment.

Bruno also becoming a friend is true, and that friendship matters, but the question focuses on the tangible outcome of Bruno’s action: assistance in finding or contacting his father. The other options don’t fit the moment as closely—there isn’t a safe place to stay or money for food that results from Bruno’s crossing.
