Answer 1

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The author compared the angel who will not even take a chance to look at the humans due to her ego and the spider woman who is more himble

Answer 2

B. the "spider-woman" is more humble, or modest, about her experiences than the angel.

The sentence compares the "haughty angel" who doesn't care for humans to the "spider-woman" who has experienced human truth and a "fearful lesson." It shows that the spider-woman is more humble and aware of the human experience than the angel, who is too proud to even look at mortals. The sentence does not address the other answer choices.
