Answer 1

I will not do the whole thing for you but I can help you get started with a few terms

The protagonist is the main character of a story (5)

Extricate, the only verb in the list, best matches the idea of disentangling or freeing something or someone (2)

I’ll let you try the rest. If you are stuck anywhere I would strongly recommend checking a dictionary like dictionary.com
