The correct answer here would be Beware the pursuit of luxury as it will surely barricade the path that leads to self-awareness.

The author clearly states his claim in the beginning of this excerpt:"Most of the luxuries, and many of the so-called comforts of life, are not only not indispensable, but positive hindrances to the elevation of mankind."

What he means by this is that we do not need as much we think we do and, in order to make progress as mankind, we should care less about luxury and rely more on reason and judgment.

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer: Oona is planning to ambush the Russians.

In this excerpt, we see that Oona is instructing Negore as to how to lead the Russians. Oona states that Negore should show them the way, to where they wait in a passage up the rocks. The fact that they are hidden, and that they are waiting for the Russians to pass, along with their negative attitude towards them, implies that they are planning an ambush for the Russians.
