Which two phrases in the excerpt help the reader understand the meaning of the word careening? excerpt from Rogue Heart by Axie

Oh Stepping from the embrace, she smoothly extracts the broom from my grip. "No more of this. Take it easy until closing. I’ll set the bots to roam. " She slips through the beaded curtain to the kitchen, presumable to hang up her apron and apply a sweep of cherry gloss across her lips. A few minutes later, I’m met with the steady drone of the dust bots as they awaken and shift listlessly through the curtain. They’re old models, mid-twenty-second century, that TingTing bought at a junk auction last fall and restored by watching instructional videos on the Net. One bumps into my toe before careening off into a cake stand. We usually don’t take them out. TingTing’s parents, Ms. Chen and Auntie, are traditionalists and prefer lowTech amenities. Still, it’s a constant war these days against the dust that sweeps across the city limits, piling worst in dead ends and cul-de-sacs, like the one that shelters The Alchemy of Dreams.

I can only answer the 1st question.
Both men in these stories faced peer pressure. They were pressured to go against their own beliefs in order to satisfy society's demands.

<span>“No Witchcraft for Sale.” - In this story, Gideon did not bow down to peer pressure. He kept silent and gave the impression of succumbing to the pressure given to him but doing what he wanted to really do. He gave the wrong root to satisfy the demands of the public. He also signified his displeasure by being more formal to his employers and for keeping his silence.

"</span><span>“Shooting an Elephant” - In this story, the police man gave in to the pressure of shooting the elephant not because it is a legal thing to do but because of self-preservation. He doesn't want to appear as a fool to the public that detests him. He preferred to be hailed as the one who shot the elephant than be further jeered as the one who did not shoot the elephant. 

Both men did what they did to serve their own purpose. Gideon's way was sticking to his values while the police man sacrificed his own values to ensure an acceptable place in the community he lives in.  </span>
