They neighbor says that phrase because he is repeating what his father used to say.

In "Mending Wall", the phrase "good fences make good neighbors" is used twice. The second time it is used, the phrase is preceded by "[he] will not go behind his father's saying (...)".

"He" refers to the neighbor, "not go behind his father's saying" refers to the fact that the neighbor will strictly follow his father's saying which was "good fences make good neighbors".

Answer:

I believe the line from this passage that describes the changed feelings of the narrator is <u>"All that had so long engaged my attention suddenly grew despicable."</u>

Explanation:

The narrator, Victor Frankenstein, is describing, in this passage, the change of feelings he has undergone concerning his work. According to him, he is no longer interested in natural history, seeing it as a "would-be science" that cannot bring any "real knowledge". He went from being excited about it to disdaining it completely. That's why he took up to working with mathematics and its "secure foundations". The line that best describes the changed feelings is, "All that had so long engaged my attention suddenly grew despicable."

Okay so you just replace certain words in the sentences with the words in the brackets. For example, in the 2nd question you rewrite the sentence as Looking after animals is *far more* time consuming than looking after children. Hope this helps! :D
