I would suggest these versions:
Why did Baron Hausberg give ten thousand pounds to Hughie.
What did Baron Hausberg give ten thousand pounds Hughie for?[YSaerTTEW443543]

TOEIC listening, photographs: A picnic[YSaerTTEW443543]

yes, there is a misprint.

It should probably be “Why did Baron H give …?” - i.e. what were the reasons for the gift.
Or “What did Baron H… to Hughie for?” i.e. what was the purpose of the gift.

Edit.
Gah, Torsten beat me by seconds… :wink: Glad we had the same answers though…
