The correct answers are the following:

Question 1: option A. The two things that Scott Fitzgerald is comparing metaphorically by choosing "Babylon Revisited" as the title of his story are an ancient, ruined city and Charley's former life of excess. Babylon is used a reference for a city that was characterized by sin, extravagance and excess. And when Charley returns to Paris, he is also forced to revisit his former life of excesses.

Question 2: option A. "In Another country" the narrator thinks he is not as brave as the other soldiers. The narrator who is named Nick Adams is a former football player who has been bounded in his knee during the War. When Nick is getting treatment for his injury, he meets other soldiers and learn their stories, and how most of them had been awarded by their government for their services. This is when Nick feels and thinks that he is not as brave as the rest of the solider he has just met. He feels that way because he had received his medal just for the fact of being American, while the rest of the soldiers, who are Italian, received theirs for conducting acts of bravery.

The correct answer here would be Beware the pursuit of luxury as it will surely barricade the path that leads to self-awareness.

The author clearly states his claim in the beginning of this excerpt:"Most of the luxuries, and many of the so-called comforts of life, are not only not indispensable, but positive hindrances to the elevation of mankind."

What he means by this is that we do not need as much we think we do and, in order to make progress as mankind, we should care less about luxury and rely more on reason and judgment.
