Answer 1

Jane's forgetfulness contributes to her awkwardness in social situations.

Answer 2

Answer: D) Jane's virtues have grown as a result of the influence of others during her time at Lowood.

Step-by-step explanation: In the given excerpt from "Jane Eyre" by Charlotte Bronte, we can see the description of the reaction of Jane, towards a specific situation, she was curious and wanted to ask in what way Miss Varens was connected to the woman, buy instead of following her instinct and go with her curiosity, she decided to not ask anything because she had learnt that it is not polite to ask too many question, so we can infer that Jane's virtues and education have grown as a result of the influence of others during her time at Lowood.
