    This new word for boy needs to be introduced. It's not even in the hints.

        그 소년(은) is another way of saying "the boy". The answer they have is correct

              Can someone explain the reason for needing two words for tall?

                키 is 'height', but more about size and not, for example, how high a plane is flying. 크다 means 'is big' 키가 크다 would mean 'has big height', a 'you are big' remarking not generam size but tallness
