Want to answer more questions in the Work & School category?
Maybe give some free advice about: School?
i have not read the book but the anwser for number one would be C (her conscience told her she was the one to write the book). and the anwser for number two is probably B (someone who is experienced in the subject).

This is a sneaky way of getting your homework done. But I will help. The first question deals with reading comprehension. It makes a statement, then asks you to choose the best answer that reflects what that statement is trying to convey. The answer is C. As our conscience reminds us of what our duty is. Like when you brain reminds you that you have homework.
The second question, is testing your vocabulary, I would think. Do you know the definition of marine life? It is the study of mammals and fish and organizims and plants that live in the earths oceans and seas. So you wouldn't look under zoology in an encyclopedia, as they study animals that live on land. From Rachel Carson's book, Silent Spring, you would only learn that the chemicals that our factories are producing are killing marine life in some areas. The remaining two answers are possibilities. You could visit the shore and learn "something" about marine life, but you would not see any sharks or whales and they are certainly part of marine life.
SO I would say that B, is the correct answer. And of course their is a clue in the answer. Marine life ~ Marine Biologist.
So while my answer is long, having to read the whole thing is kind of like doing homework anyway.
And actually I enjoyed it. Good luck to you
