In this excerpt, we can read the conclusion of Victor Frankenstein about science: in the 19th century, scientists pursue their studies at any personal or moral cost:
"With a confusion of ideas only to be accounted for by my extreme youth and my want of a guide on such matters, I had retrod the steps of nowledge along the paths of time and exchanged the discoveries of recent inquirers for the dreams of forgotten alchemists. Besides, I had a contempt for the uses of modern natural philosophy. It was very different when the masters of the science sought immortality and power; such views, although futile, were grand; but now the scene was changed. The ambition of the inquirer seemed to limit itself to the annihilation of those visions on which my interest in science was chiefly founded. I was required to exchange chimeras of boundless grandeur for realities of little worth.
Such were my reflections during the first two or three days of my residence at Ingolstadt, which were chiefly spent in becoming acquainted with the localities and the principal residents (..)"
When the objective of the science experiments is only the recognition, the need for making something original and spectacular, to be regarded by other scientists the results could be terrible. For example, the creation of the poor monster of Frankenstein story.
How the characters respond to the problem

2. Option C: She thinks the night belongs to her and her alone.
3. Option D: .Because she thought the sun Had got no business to be there.
4. Option A: The moon was moping. She thought the sun should not shine during nighttime. The moon thinks the sun is rude to be there after the day is over.
Explanation:
In the given excerpt from 'The Walrus and the Carpenter'
by 'Lewis Carroll', moon seems to be sulking because she thinks night is the time for her to rule the sky. The sun should not be there is the sky during the night time. She thinks that it was rude of the sun to remain there even during the time when she is supposed to be in the sky. Sun should remain only during the day. Therefore options C, D and A are correct for questions 2, 3 and 4 respectively.
Option A is a personification for question 1 because it says that the sun is shining with all its power. It looks like it is describing the power of a person.
