Explanation:

For question 4, the passage mentions that memories are ill - defined but feelings like restlessness are remembered, which points to option B. For question 5, without the context of the interaction, we can't be certain, but based on common character interpretations in literature, option B about a proud and frustrated man is a reasonable choice.

Answer:

Question 4: B. She is not sure if she remembers the exact details of everything that happened, but she can recall the way that she felt when she was growing up
Question 5: B. He is a proud and frustrated man who does not want to accept help from other people.
