Explanation:

First Question (about the Creature in Gothic literature)

To determine the typical Gothic literature character trait of the Creature:

• "He seems mysterious" – The quote doesn't emphasize mystery.
• "He is tormented" – The quote shows envy and internal conflict (bitter gall of envy, considering Satan as emblem of his condition), indicating torment, a common Gothic theme of emotional suffering.
• "He finds comfort in religion" – The quote shows envy of protectors' bliss, not comfort in religion.
• "He has supernatural powers" – The quote doesn't mention powers.

To identify the Gothic feature:

• "intense emotion" – The excerpt has "anger that had died away... rage that burned within me", showing strong, intense emotions, a key Gothic element.
• "gloomy setting" – The excerpt focuses on emotions, not setting.
• "mystery and terror" – No mystery/terror described here.
• "supernatural events" – No supernatural events mentioned.

Answer:

B. He is tormented
