C) ‘[I] also overlooked a few trifling defects, which, however, glimmered on my perception long before the close of the honeymoon.’
D) ‘…there stood Mrs. Bullfrog, with her glossy ringlets curling on her brow, and two rows of orient pearls gleaming between her parted lips, which wore a most angelic smile.’

Answer 1

A. is the answer I hope this help 

Answer 2

Answer: A.‘Even your fair hand could not manage a curl more delicately than mine"

Step-by-step explanation:

From the answer,

"Even your fair hand" shows that Mrs Bullfrog had a competitive advantage over the speaker which is a superfluity.

And "could not manage a curl" shows that Mrs Bullfrog lacked the capacity to manage a curl even with her superfluity which shows a deficiency.

Option A is the correct answer because in every other option the speaker spoke of strengths rather than deficiencies.
