Explanation:

The evidence must show Scout suspects Jem has an ulterior motive, not just kindness. The details about money changing hands and Jem's strict rules reveal her suspicion: the jingle of coins suggests a payment from Atticus, and Jem's demands imply he is motivated by that payment rather than goodwill.

Answer:

1. "I think some money changed hands in this transaction, for as we trotted around the corner past the Radley Place I heard an unfamiliar jingle in Jem's pockets."
2. "When we slowed to a walk at the edge of the schoolyard, Jem was careful to explain that during school hours I was not to bother him, I was not to approach him with requests to enact a chapter of Tarzan and the Ant Men, to embarrass him with references to his private life, or tag along behind him at recess and noon."
