Answer:
1. The author hasn't told us the real reason of why Laura died. She has told us about their housemaid, Reenie, but we do not know how that is connected to Laura's death. Also, the author says that Laura might have her "reasons", but doesn't even tell us indirectly what those reason might be...
2. Two possible answers
- Laura's notebooks are her childhood diaries/a record of a secret relationship/a novel
OR
- Iris feels responsible for her sisters death/never loved her husband
Explanation for the 2nd one:
- The author remembers Reenie (maybe while reading one of Laura's diaries) and she also feels the need to tell Richard, her husband. But why does she feel the need to tell Richard? Maybe because Richard may have been in love with Laura, and because something went wrong (something didn't or couldn't work out) they have split up and Richard married Iris. Or maybe Iris felt some kind of anger towards Laura and that's why she married Richard (we don't quite know). And Laura may have been furious of Richard's or Iris' decision so much that she decided to kill herself (or did she? We don't know 'cause it's the first chapter). And that might be the reason Iris might have felt the need to inform Richard about Laura's death - because she thinks (or maybe knows feels) that Richard doesn't love her, he still loves Laura and that because they got married that, somehow may associate on the reason of Laura's death.

Explanation:
The best description of Kenneth, based on this excerpt is, He is trying to convince Xavier to sell the farm.
Answer: Option B
<u>Explanation:</u>
The passage is a conversation between Xavier and Kenneth where Xavier is unhappy with his grandmother’s idea of him being a farmer. So he expresses his concern with Kenneth.
From the excerpt we can see that it was Xavier who was speaking most of the time, while Kenneth was simply relaxed and he didn’t interact much.
It was only at the end of the conversation when Kenneth gives an idea to Xavier that apart from farming, one thing which he can do is to sell it.
Kenneth in a way is trying to assure Xavier that he don’t need to farm if he don’t feel like, just sell the farm and his problem will be solved.
