Answer:
Zealous (adjective): showing passion for something
1) The zealous ace student studied every single day to make sure that he would pass his exams
Scruples (noun): a hesitating because you’re worrying if an action is moral or not
2) Although he had scruples about conducting the scam, he still continued to ensure that he would make money
Explanation:
John Donne is well known for his original and complex conceits. He establishes unheard comparisons between two objects. For example, in one poem he uses the metaphor of coins to express teardrops. In the same way, in his famous poem "The Flea", Donne elaborates an intrincate metaphor of love in the mixing of blood on the inside of a flee. The poet speaks to his mistress about not killing the flea that carries both of their bloods, meaning a plea that their love does not end. This is an elegant, but as well sarcastic and humorous way of expression. That if the main difference between Donne and Marvell. The first one has a playful style, while the second one is more serious, as he explores ideas in two paths: their inmediate meaning and the philosophical implications. Marvell follows a more classical approach, in the sense that he unearths some concepts from the literary heritage, such as <em>carpe diem </em>in his poem "To His Coy Mistress". In this poem, Marvell focusses on telling a girl about how limited time is, how they cannot waste their lives and how they have to enjoy to the fullest their existences.

This question is missing the options. I have found the complete question online. Since the passage is the same, I will omit it:
How does Chaucer characterize the young man speaking in this passage?
A. as uncomfortable
B. as loyal
C. as deceitful
D. as innocent
Answer:
Chaucer characterizes the young man:
C. as deceitful
Explanation:
When we call someone deceitful, we mean that person is false, untruthful, untrustworthy. Notice that Chaucer shows the young man is deceitful through the character's own words. He knows he is supposed to split the gold between the three of them. However, once the youngest is gone to town, he proposes to the other man that they split it only between the two of them. He clearly cannot be trusted. Therefore, letter C is the best option for this question.
