Explanation:

For Part A, by analyzing the context of the passages, if the characters are facing new situations which often implies adventure - this is a common theme in literature to show character development. For Part B, the sentence "The better part of me felt carved away as we fled Luna, and I knew I would never again hear my grandmother say my name, never follow Aja along the garden paths to train before the morning Pachelbel bird even woke" shows a sense of leaving behind a familiar life which is related to the idea of being on an adventure and facing change.
