Japanese - Ask questions thread

Basically if you have a question about the language, ask it and fellow 4channers might see it and answer it for you.

To start it off. When an animate object (iru) dies, is it considered inanimate(aru)?

I found this sentence in a walkthrough for some game:

「選択肢で上げる」どの程度上がるかは章別攻略を参照して下さい。

What I'm not sure of is:
- 章別攻略. しょうべつこうりゃく?  Would this mean a different chapter in the same walkthrough?
- どの程度上がるかは ｰ> is "どの程度上がるか" a question which は is making the sentence's topic?
