Answer 1

Line 548: Flow'd freshly forth; and, mad, he hurl'd the wood
Line 574: No stratagem to 'scape his gross surprise.
Line 593: Bleating and braying, their full bags so sore

Answer 2

1) c or d
2) d

Answer 3

1)An allusion is a reference to a real life idea, such as Romeo and Juliet. If Pallas, feast, and man's flesh refers to something in real life, it is C. You should read around those lines to pick up any other references to see if it is correct.
Otherwise it's D, because A and B doesn't make sense.
2) F F F, S S S, B B B.
