Solution

The correct option is B were passing their time in idleness
Option D is correct because it is clearly mentioned in the passage that - 'The heat-wave deepened during the following few days while Jack and I lazed about in the house and yards, wearing ragged shirts and discarded garments, because the more presentable ones were being packed by Mother.'
Lazing arround means being idle and doing nothing.
There is no evidence in the passage to suggest that Options A, B, and C are the right answers.
Hence, these are incorrect.
