The correct answers are:

- Paragraphs 11 and 12 preview Kelly's plan to overthrow the regime under General Taney through specific details.
- Paragraphs 16 and 17 use dialogue to make the reader sympathize with Tucker's character.

Step-by-step explanation:

The structure of the text contributes to its meaning in several ways. Paragraphs 7 and 8 interrupt the story to provide a "behind the scenes" look at what's happening in secret during the Olympics, which adds suspense and tension to the story. Paragraphs 11 and 12 preview Kelly's plan to overthrow the regime under General Taney, which sets up the climax of the story and adds depth to the characters. Finally, paragraphs 16 and 17 use dialogue to make the reader sympathize with Tucker's character, which adds an emotional dimension to the story and helps the reader connect with the characters. The other answer choices are either incorrect or do not accurately describe how the structure of the text contributes to its meaning.
