4. The current month: (Depends on context, but if we assume a common literary reference or puzzle context, but since the puzzle has "SHAKESPEARE" filled, maybe not needed here as per visible filled cells).
5. The device Montag tried to put sand in as a child: seashell (Montag回忆童年试图往seashell radio里放沙子, but wait, the filled cell here is "RADIO"? Wait, the visible filled cells: "RADIO" is in the puzzle. Wait, the clue 12: the device with sand—actually, the "seashell" is the earpiece, but maybe "radio" is part of it. Wait, the filled "RADIO" is across? Wait, the visible "RADIO" is a filled word. Maybe 12 is "seashell", but the filled "RADIO" is for another clue.
6. The book Montag stole from the old lady’s attic: Bible (Montag steals a Bible, as seen in the filled "BIBLE" in the puzzle).

Wait, the filled "POEM" is down 5? Wait, the filled "POEM" is a down clue? Wait, the visible "POEM" is a down word (5 down? The grid shows "POEM" vertically). So 5 down: "POEM"? No, the clue is "Since 1990, they have fought and won two ____ wars"—maybe "Persian" (Gulf Wars), but the filled "POEM" is for another clue. Wait, the filled "SHAKESPEARE" is across 4. The filled "BIBLE" is across 13. The filled "RADIO" is across. The filled "POEM" is down 5? Wait, the grid has "POEM" as a down word (vertical), so 5 down: "POEM"? No, the clue 5 is about wars. Maybe the puzzle has some pre-filled answers. Let's focus on the visible filled and solvable clues:

From the filled cells:
