Final answer:
The claim that Jonas was chanted at by the audience in 'The Giver' while standing on stage is false. There was a silence when his turn was skipped, followed by an explanation of his special role.
So the answer is FALSE.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement regarding the book The Giver, that Jonas was standing on the stage, and the audience chanted his name, is false. In the book, during the Ceremony of Twelve.
Jonas is initially skipped over, causing an unsettling moment of silence, not chanting. It is only after this silence that the Chief Elder explains Jonas's selection as the Receiver of Memory, which differs from chanting his name.
So the answer is FALSE.
