Answer 1

Q3

D. Lochinvar and the family of the woman he loves

Q4

C. The speech shows Lochinvar's supreme confidence.

Step-by-step explanation:

The poem by Sir Walter Scott is about a brave night who swoops into the wedding of the woman he loves, argues against the marriage and tries to convince her father to let her marry him and then rides way with her to somewhere unknown.

The main conflict is between Lochinvar and the family as he tries to convince them to let him marry the girl instead of the groom to be.

The poem is marked by his confidence and these lines are a great example of his assured and unafraid diction.
