Assuming the original sentence is As a child, Maria Mitchell studied astronomy with her father William Mitchell, an amateur astronomer, the correct answer here is William Mitchell.
An appositive phrase is used to further describe a particular noun next to it, and is usually separated from the rest of the sentence using commas, as is the case here. The appositive phrase an amateur astronomer refers to the father, William Mitchell.

eimsori [14]

Answer:

C The author draws a comparison between the chemical transformation of Jekyll into Hyde and the real-life shift from ordinary person to evil-doer.

Explanation:

The author tried to show the shift of people's morals into evil with the idea of how Jekyll and his chemical transformation into the evil Mr. Hyde.

Dr. Jekyll was trying to prove the duality of the people and their evil and good sides, but his experiment turned bad for him. In the end, he could not control his evil side anymore. 

The author is trying with this to show how with doing more and more evil deeds normal person can shift into the evil-doer, and that there is no turning back.

There is no border anymore between good and the bad side, a person can't just transform back, just as Jekyll couldn't control himself with chemicals anymore at the end.
