Answer 1

If you don't have these options but you have other options like I did the answer is

11- The stiff rails were softened to swan's-down

And still fluttered down the snow.

Answer 2

A. 7- And the poorest twig on the elm- tree Was ridged inch deep with pearl.

Step-by-step explanation:

The line shown above shows how the author sees nature as something very rich and valuable, since he shows that the poorest branch of a tree was full of riches, as it was studded with pearls and it was not even the most beautiful and admirable branch.

This was common in romantic literature, where writers used nature as an idealized and ideal environment for escapism from the real world.
