Explanation:

First Question (Effect of Creature's Reading)

• Analyze each option:
• Option 1: Reading exposes the Creature to new ideas/experiences (matches how literature broadens understanding).
• Option 2: Reading doesn’t reveal his past/future (no text support for this).
• Option 3: Reading doesn’t persuade him to record feelings (focus is on learning, not recording).
• Option 4: While he learns, the key effect is opening his mind (more about new understanding than just "needing to learn more").

• The correct answer to the first question is about reading opening his mind to new experiences. The line "The cottage of my protectors had been the only school in which I had studied human nature, but this book developed new and mightier scenes of action" shows the book introduces new (mightier) scenes/experiences, supporting the idea of opening his mind. Other lines describe the book’s content/language, not the effect of reading.

Answer:

A. It opens his mind to new experiences and understandings.
