Have you read the story?

I have but it's been awhile. This is an end of unit review. All I remember is it's about a girl called Proserpina (if that's how you spell it) who gets kidnapped by a king of the underworld named Pluto.

So I mostly need help with question 3 and 4.

This is a summary of the story: 

When Demeter's young daughter, Persephone, is kidnapped by the king of the underworld, the earth-goddess decrees that nothing will grow on Earth until the girl is returned to her. Laura Geringer brings a modern sensibility to her interpretation of Nathaniel Hawthorne's adaptation of the Greek myth about the origins of the seasons. She retells it as the story of a child caught between two adults who compete for her loyalty and affection. Leonid Gore's elegant and evocative paintings evoke the timeless world of myth.
