Answer

Brief Explanations:

For Part A, the key - idea is to find David's motivation for persuading Eric to change his vocation. Option C is correct as it implies a sense of obligation to repay Mr. Marshall by influencing his son Eric's career choice. For Part B, the quotation in option C about loving Mr. Marshall's son (Eric) with a love surpassing brothers supports the idea that David's motivation is related to his connection with Mr. Marshall and his care for Eric.

Answer:

Part A: C. David believes he must repay the favor Mr. Marshall did for him. Part B: C. “... and he loved that man’s son with a love surpassing of brothers.” (paragraph 3)
