Answer 1

He has so few friends that his life is lonely. 他的同伙很少，所以他的生活很是寂寞的.
alone: 普通用词，指独自一人的状态，有时含孤寂之意。
lonely : 强调孤独感，含“渴望和他人在一起”的意味。
The boy insisted that he hadn't stolen the money and he (should) be set free.
坚持说没偷钱并要求立刻放了他。
insist坚持说的意思，从句用正常语气，如果是坚持要别人做，则有虚拟的意思，用should+原形。should常常可省略。

追答

1, 选B 因为lonely 孤独。has so few friends 没有几个朋友。

2, insisted 坚持，第一空陈述语气，意思是＂坚持说＂，他坚持说他没偷钱。
第二空是虚拟语气，He insisted that he (should) be set free. 他坚持要立刻释放他。

括号中的should 可以省去。
