Could someone please walk me through this?

Explanation / Answer

1) The field inside the solenoid (ignoring fringe effects, assuming this is in a vacuum) is:
B = u0 N i /L
u0 = permeability of vacuum
N #of turns
i current
L length

B = 1.25 E-6*1.5E4*2.5 / 0.1 = 0.47 T = 0.47 Wb/m2
The area of the loop is pi 0.02^2 = 0.00125 m2
That is a flux of ~5.91 E-4 Wb
answer is E.

2) E = d(Flux)/dt = µ0(dI/dt)(N/L)rl^2 =  5.91*10^-4/0.42 = 1.4*10^-3 V

3) Zero,

Inside a solenoid, the magnetic field is quite uniform, directed along the axis. If you place the loop with its axis perpendicular to that of the solenoid, the area of the loop presented on-edge to the field is zero, so the flux is always zero and so the induced voltage must be zero.

4) Lsol =µ0n^2 V = 130 V
