Compound sentence.
Explanation:
A compound sentence contains at least two independent clauses (with no dependent ones; if there is a dependent clause included, then it is a compound-complex sentence). There are two independent clauses in the sentence above: <em> Its proprietor, Roderick usher, had been one of my boon companions in boyhood </em>AND <em>but many years had elapsed since our last meeting.</em>
There are no dependent clauses here - both clauses are independent and can exist on their own.
Answers:
<em>1. Lance Kenniston needed a ship to get to an asteroid, but nothing was available.</em>
The most important detail of the passage is the fact that Lance Kenniston needs a ship urgently, but cannot find it. The name of his friend, or his physical characteristics are not vital to the action. Similarly, the name of the port is not the most important part of the passage. Finally, although the characters' desperation is important, it is even more valuable to know the reason for their desperation.
<em>2. A. It tells readers there is something important happening on that asteroid. </em>
If the characters are desperate to get back to the asteroid, we can assume something important is going to happen there within the next two weeks. We do not know whether they are planning on taking it over, whether they are at the wrong location, or whether Kenniston has not tried hard enough. Therefore, none of the other options is possible.

If you think about it, this line is the only one that would be used to describe an animal.
You can ask yourself, what do you think of when you read that line.
When I read it I could almost imagine a predator like a wolf snarling, showing it's vicious teeth. In effect, when he opened his mouth to smile it's like you're getting a glimpse into him and his nature.
