Today, I have an English lesson, so I need to prepare for the lesson for my students.
I've already prepared an article about Steve Jobs, but I haven't complete questions about it.
I'm wondering if English grammar is OK?
After read the article, answer the questions.
Q1: Why did he die?
A1: Because he had cancer.
Q2: What was there in front of at Apple stores around the world after he died.
A2: Messages, flowers, and candles.
Q3: Who made a comment for him after he died?
A3: The president of the U.S., the prime minister of Great Britain.
Q4: What did he do? (or What was his occupation?)
I don't know which is natural?
A4: He was a businessman. (or He was a developer or pioneer.)
Q5: At what the age, he became very rich?
A5: At the age of 25.
Q6: At what age, he quit Apple?
(In this case, I think "quit" is more appropriate than "left". Don't you think so?)
A6: At the age of 30.
Q7: Why he started to work for Apple again about a decade later.
A7: Because the company was in trouble.
Q8: Why did he was respected by so many people?(or Why so many people respected him so much?) Which is more natural?
A8: Because he had passion.(or He was passionate.)
Q9: What did he want to do?( What was his goal?)
Which is more natural?
A9: He wanted to do something wonderful!
Q10: Did he think money was important?
A10: No, he didn't. Since the article says "He didn't care about money."
In this article, I found unfamiliar expression.
Tell me the meaning.
★ After he died, more than million people e-mailed messages to website Apple set up IN HIS MEMORY.
In this case what does "IN HIS MEMORY" means?
Is this homograph?

Q2: What was there in front of at Apple stores around the world after he died?
S., and the Prime Minister of Great Britain.
I don't know which is natural?
I think "What was his occupation" is the better question. "What did he do" is too vague.
Q5: At what the age, did he become very rich?
Q6: At what age, did he first quit Apple?
He resigned more than once, the second time was shortly before he died.
Q7: Why did he started to work for Apple again, about a decade later?
Q8: Why did was he was respected by so many people?(or Why so many people respected him so much?) Which is more natural?
The first question is more natural.
A8: Because he had passion.(or He was passionate.)
"He was passionate" is more natural.
Which is more natural?
"What was his goal"
In this article, I found an unfamiliar expression.
In this case what does "IN HIS MEMORY" means?
"In his memory", or in someone's memory, means that something was done for someone's behalf after they passed away, usually to help remember them. This happens a lot with people who may have passed away from some disease, like cancer. Many times, charities are established in someone's name to raise money to research some disease that person may have had. For example, someone named John Doe passed away because he had cancer. His family, friends or colleagues may create the "John Doe Memorial Foundation" to raise money for cancer research. It is then that it can be said that the "foundation" was set up "in John Doe's memory." Other people then will remember John Doe when they donate to the foundation which has his name. Does that make sense?
Especially the last long explanation is very helpful!!!
Now I understand "in his memory" means.
Thank u:)
