The correct answers on PLATO are:

2. One cannot wonder that so very fine a young man, with family, fortune, everything in his favour, should think highly of himself. If I may so express it, he has a right to be proud."

"That is very true," replied Elizabeth, "and I could easily forgive his pride, if he had not mortified mine."

I took the test and got these answers right.

The following answers would be best for this question would be:

<span>1.       </span>First of all, he asked Miss Lucas. I was so vexed to see him stand up with her! "His pride," said Miss Lucas, "does not offend me so much as pride often does, because there is an excuse for it. One cannot wonder that so very fine a young man, with family, fortune, everything in his favour, should think highly of himself. If I may so express it, he has a right to be proud."

 

<span>2.       </span>"That is very true," replied Elizabeth, "and I could easily forgive his pride, if he had not mortified mine."

 

These two excerpts describe the main theme of the story which I fact is, pride and prejudice, it states in both characters specifically Elizabeth and Darcy are in a dilemma with their own personal conflicts; a character vs character  type of plot.

I have found the lines and the options for this question from another source. Allow me to paste them here.

LINES:
1. Cut is the branch that might have grown full straight, And burned is Apollo's laurel bough, That sometime grew within this learned man.   
2. Swoll'n with cunning of a self-conceit, His waxen wings did mount above his reach, And melting heavens conspired his overthrow.  
3. Her lips suck forth my soul: see, where it flies!-- Come, Helen, come, give me my soul again. Here will I dwell, for heaven is in these lips, And all is dross that is not Helena. I will be Paris, and for love of thee,

OPTIONS:
A. Icarus and Daedalus (characters in Greek mythology who invented a way to fly) 
B. The Trojan War
C. A symbol of fame and reward, belonging to the god of divination

LINE #1:
This line alludes to (C) a symbol of fame and reward, belonging to the god of divination.

Apollo, the god of divination, wears a laurel crown. This laurel is bestowed to those who were victorious or those who demonstrated honor. In ancient Greece, the laurel was also awarded to victors in athletic and poetic competitions. "Laurel" was explicitly mentioned in this line.

LINE #2
This second line refers to (A) Icarus and Daedalus, who were characters in Greek mythology who invented a way to fly.

"Waxen wings" alludes to the tragic tale of Icarus and Daedalus, where Daedalus tried to build wings made of wax for himself and his son, Icarus, to escape the island Crete. Unfortunately, Icarus flew too close to the sun that the wax melted and he descended to the sea where he met his death.

LINE #3
This line mentions Helen and Paris which were key figures of (B) the Trojan War.

The infamous abduction of Helen by Paris directly resulted into the decade-long Trojan War. Helen, who was then married to King Menelaus of Sparta, was influenced by Aphrodite to come with Paris to Troy. This greatly angered King Menelaus, who enlisted the help of the Greek army to get her back.

The correct answer should be
<span>A Ogilvy’s curiosity tends to overcome his better judgment.

He is curious about it and while anyone else would probably avoid the place or be scared of going near the meteorite, Ogilvy doesn't care about that and wants to know what it looks like and what it is. It goes for the worse when he realizes what is actually happening.</span>
