2. A. irritated yet dedicated

The the story, adam is depicted as father role who adopt a very traditional male role. He expect eve to be completely obedient to him, which often make Eve felt very irritated by his behaviour. But despite that, eve is still loyal and dedicated toward him.

3. D. "I adapted myself to the punishment: it was my life."

The sentence above shows Eve willingness to endure the suffering that she felt from her relationship. She try to rationalize her situation by trying to accept it's all a part of her normal life. By doing this, she adapted her physical and physiological mind to endure her misery.

4. A. "The seasons changed, the game was fleeted-footed."

Biblical allusion refers to a reference that is made by taking the story and excerpt from the holy bible. The mention of new Eden, God's order for the women to obedient to the Man, and the characters of Abel and CAin are all mentioned in the old testament of the Christian Bible.

21 balloons is the story of professor william sherman's travels.

in 1883, he set off from san francisco for a balloon ride over the pacific and was found a month later floating with 21 balloons in the atlantic ocean. this seemed an astounding feat and everyone wanted to know what had happened.    

professor sherman was loyal, however, and said he would tell his tale first to the western american explorers club in san francisco, of which he was a member. this built up suspense for several chapters before he began to tell of the wonders of his adventures and the amazing island of krakatoa, an island which had just been blown up by a volcano.
