For Question 1, I chose option E. But by re-looking it, I realized that by comparing respective heroes in option E, makes it incorrect.
Instead what the author is trying is to compare the 2 poems by bringing up the Mack's categories, to distinguish. Hence option C, is correct.

For Question 3, I chose option A. By re-looking, I realize that there are no arguments. But the author is trying to show a contrast of the 2 poems.
Option B- There are no classifications which are talked about.
Option C- The author is not trying to debate. He is just putting forth the ideas for both sides. No where he is siding with..
Option D- There is no dispute in the passage
Option E- There a contrast between the 2 poems. The author starts of with telling about the popularity and then goes on to tell ideas which are contrasting to both the poems. Hence, he is indeed developing a contrast. So, this option is correct.

In this sentence "Its subject (to use Maynard Mack's categories) is "life-as-spectacle," for readers, diverted by its various incidents, observe its hero Odysseus primarily from without;...", 'from without' which is from archaic English means 'outside'.
So the first part of the sentence before that semicolon suggests that- In case of Odyssey, readers tend to observe its hero Odysseus primarily from outside as they are diverted by its various incidents.
