Answer:
a) Appearances are deceiving.
Explanation:
It's easy to be fooled by outward looks, like in the poem "Queen of the Cats." An innocent-looking cat by the name of Old Polly looks to be a sweetheart. On closer investigation, though, it becomes apparent that she is a clever and devious feline. As far as I can tell, she's been a good buddy to the other cats she's lived with. The truth is, her ultimate allegiance is to herself. She takes advantage of the other cats that come to her for aid. At the end of the story, she is shown to be a selfish monster who uses people to get what she wants.

Answer:
The two ideas from the setting that influence the way characters act in this passage are:
B. the idea that people should not argue in public
E. the custom of saving women and children first
Explanation:
"A Night to Remember" is a novel by Walter Lord which gives an account of the disastrous first trip of the Titanic. As we know, the ship began its journey toward America but ended up sinking after a tragic collision with an iceberg in 1912.
The fact that the story is set in 1912 is of great importance to understand how and why the characters behave in certain ways. Society at the beginning of the 20th century lived under different, more strict, social rules than it does now. People would, for instance, avoid any sort of disagreement in public, since it was frowned upon. That is represented in the first fragment: "Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Meyer of New York felt so self-conscious arguing about it in public that they went down to their cabin."
It is also important to understand that, in sinking ships, it is a rule to save children and women first. The story being set on a ship explains the second fragment: "When they say ‘Women and children to the boats,’ you must go when your turn comes. I'll stay here with Jack Thayer. We’ll be all right.”
