Why do people use “peoples” and “persons” in some sentences? When is it right to use them in context?

No. Although both people and peoples are grammatically correct, they cannot be used interchangeably because they have different meanings.

Case 1: When you use it in the sense of one people, many peoples:
Here, people (singular) means a group of human beings belonging to a particular race/ethnicity. The plural of such groups is called peoples.
E.g. 
The different peoples of the world have very diverse traditions.The Ukrainians are a nice people.
Case 2: When you use it in the sense of one person, many people:
Here, people means a group of persons. This is the regular and most common usage of the word people.
E.g. 
There are more than a billion people in India

Flash back to show Rapunzel in the forest imagining what the prince was doing without her. A dream sequence could be the mother imagining what Rapunzel would taste like, or how the King imagines what Rapunzel looks like.

Explanation:

You could use the flash back to show Rapunzel in the forest imagining what the prince was doing without her. Such as, "Rapunzel sat in the dark forest. Though she had two children, she was completely alone. She began knitting a new pair of socks for her children, and humming an old familiar tune. She though back to how it all began." and then switch back and forth between the beginning and her waiting. A dream sequence could be the mother imagining what the Rapunzel would taste like, or how the King imagines what Rapunzel looks like.

Flash forward would be the opposite of a flash back. In stead of thinking about what happened, you think about what will happen. Like from the witch's perspective. She knows what is going to happen before it happens. You cold have the first meeting between the father and the witch, and when the father takes the Rapunzel back to his wife, you flash forward to the witch telling Rapunzel to let her hair down.

I guess a better example would be to show the witch convincing the father to give Rapunzel to him. You could flash forward (the witch showing the father) what would happen if the mother didn't eat the Rapunzel. "The witch then pulled an old mirror from her satchel and told the father to look in to it. He saw himself crying while his wife and unborn child died because he was unable to bring the Rapunzel to her" This would be making the Rapunzel magical, though.

Answer:

D. The words convey an image of a mysterious, somewhat frightening place.

Explanation:

The words exactly convey the image of a mysterious and frightening place and it does not explicitly convey that there were sharks and octopuses living inside the cave. Although the audience may think that they live there but it was a bunch of metaphorical explanation to what they were facing at that time.
