Second Question: http://www.sparknotes.com/lit/uncletom/themes.html
The answer is D because it reflects most on what the passage is about.
(A) would be best: An extended narrative poem about the deeds of heroes.
With my school experience I would have to say B, because a transitive verb has to be an action verb and express a doable activity. An example would be: Sylvia KICKED Juan under the table.
