Answer:

1. So, in the end, above ground you must have the Haves, pursuing pleasure and comfort and beauty, and below ground the Have-nots, the Workers getting continually adapted to the conditions of their labor. 

This represents society and class. As you can see here, the Haves are those people who live on the surface and enjoy the fruits of somebody else's labor. On the other hand, the Have-nots live underground and have to work hard to provide for the Haves.

2. We improve our favorite plants and animals—and how few they are—gradually by selective breeding; now a new and better peach, now a seedless grape, now a sweeter and larger flower, now a more convenient breed of cattle. 

I believe this excerpt represents humankind and nature, particularly the way we treat nature. We are not satisfied with its current state, so we are constantly trying to change it and make it suit our needs better. Our attitude towards nature is arguably a wrong one.

3. Plainly, this second species of Man was subterranean. There were three circumstances in particular which made me think that its rare emergence above ground was the outcome of a long-continued underground habit. In the first place, there was the bleached look common in most animals that live largely in the dark—the white fish of the Kentucky caves, for instance.

In my opinion, this excerpts is talking about evolution. You can see that in the beginning, all people (the second species) lived underground, however, over time, they managed to evolve and emerge to the surface and start a new life there.

One way that the novel differs from earlier literary works is that _____. novelists often leave out many details associated with
xenn [34]

One way that the novel differs from earlier literary works is that readers are often able to relate better to the characters in novels.

A novel is a long work of narrative fiction, usually written in prose form. It is considered that all of the genre has " a continuous and comprehensive history of about two thousand years"  origined in classical Greece and Rome, in medieval and early modern romance, and in the tradition of the Italian renaissance novella. Novel readers  are more susceptible, to get along with the characters, relating their personal experiences with the characters in question, something that in ancient literature was not very common.

Read the excerpt from The Time Traveler’s Guide to Elizabethan England. A miller’s daughter dies in her bed, weakened from lack
Yakvenalex [24]

A miller’s daughter dies in her bed, weakened from lack of food.

Another “poor, hunger-starved beggar boy” is found in the street and carried into a house, where he dies.

A four-year-old local boy dies “for want of food and means,” as does his mother.

You hear the story of a man leaving his home and walking hundreds of miles in search of work or food and returning after a couple of months with sufficient money only to find that his wife and children have all since died.

These four are clear explicit examples of starvation during Elizabethian times, since England faced hard times during Elizabethian times, since the population grew larger by a third, and the resources stayed the same, they had to divide the same products between more people.
