Based on the information given, your answers for the first two questions are correct. However, your answer for the third question is incorrect.
To ascertain the correct answer for the third question, you need to carefully examine the passage from the novel. In the passage, Jonas asks the old man what to call him because he thought he was The Receiver. The old man then replies, "Call me The Giver."
From this information, we can deduce that the old man is called The Giver because he transmits memories to Jonas, as stated in option D. Therefore, the correct answer for the third question is D, not B as you suggested.
