Explanation:

First Question (Meaning of "astonishing")

The context mentions "fantastic secrets", "adventures of a lifetime", so "astonishing" should relate to something impressive or surprising. "Dangerous or scary" doesn't fit the positive tone. "Everyday or normal" is opposite. "Upsetting or unusual" has a negative connotation, while the context is positive about the tour. So "Surprising or impressive" is correct.

A primary source is a firsthand account (from someone who experienced or witnessed the event/topic), not fictional (made - up) or opinionated (based on opinions rather than direct experience). So the correct term is "firsthand".

Answer:

C. Surprising or impressive
