Explanation:

For question 9: A protagonist's genuine, meaningful reaction to deceased crew members typically shows they value their companions, which reflects emotional depth. The other options frame the character as selfish, unfeeling, or only focused on superficial recall, which are not typical positive or revealing character traits for such a scenario.
For question 10: First-person narration filters the story through only the protagonist's perspective, so readers only know what the protagonist thinks, feels, and experiences. This limited knowledge creates suspense as readers learn information at the same pace as the narrator. The other options are incorrect: first-person is subjective, not objective; it does not inherently make a narrator unreliable; and it only shows one viewpoint, not multiple.

Answer:

1. He is deeply affected by their deaths, showing his emotional depth
2. It creates suspense by limiting the reader's knowledge to the protagonist's thoughts
