Answer 1

1) I'm not sure of what this answer should be as well

2) This statement shows that the Goddess is just like what any mother should be. The Goddess is caring because as soon as she heard the chariot wheels, she immediately ran out to meet her daughter. The Goddess is also very excited that her daughter has arrived. This shows that her daughter has significance importance to the Goddess.

Answer 2

The two lines that are being compared are "as the deer bounds over the hill" and "she ran out swiftly to meet her daughter".
This is called a simile because the comparison confess with the use of "like or as". Meaning, the goddess jumped up quickly to see her daughter.

This passage shows that the goddess is very excited to see her daughter and therefore must be very happy and live her daughter a lot to leap up and run outside at the sound of the chariot that if bringing her.
