is it dangeorous to hold a thermometer from its bulb
Can you measure the temperature of a flame of a Bunsen burner using a thermometer?
Yes, and No. You will get an inaccurate number since of air temperature and a few variables, but it will be relatively close. I do not recommend this, because a few things may happen, and even some I do not even know of. The thermometer will get hot and melt. Or explode. And many other things can happen.
What happen to solid when they absorbs heat?
Such a solid will either: a) Increase in temperature b) Melt c) or both
Why is it incorrect to talk about the flow of temperature from hot object to a colder object?
That's because the correct word is "heat" (instead of "temperature"). It is heat energy that goes from one object to the other; temperature is what's measured by the thermometer, and it may well happen, in some cases, that the temperature doesn't even change for a while, even if heat energy is added or removed.

What will happen if a gas is held at a constant temperature has a increase in pressure applied to it?
The volume of the gas will decrease. the gas will also attempt to increase in temperature.
