Explanation:

Sub - Question 1:

From the passage, it says "He remembered the promise he made to his sister ten years ago. 'I'll go back and find it.' That promise was the only thing pushing him forward now". So the promise to his sister to go back and find something is what drives Marcus to enter the house.

The text states "Thunder rumbled in the distance, a warning that the storm was coming sooner than expected". Thunder and an impending storm are often used in literature to foreshadow danger or a tense, potentially dangerous situation.

Answer:

The promise Marcus made to his sister ten years ago ("I'll go back and find it") is driving him to enter the house.
