The correct answers are the following.

In the excerpt of “The Life of Charlotte Bronte” by Elizabeth Gaskell, the meaning of the underlined words “sagacity” and “bestowing” are:  

In this excerpt, the word sagacity means intelligence, acuity.

In this excerpt, the word bestowing means grant, confer.

Sagacity/intelligence is used in the text to say that the Yorkshiremen have a dogged power of will that they have as a right of birth. Bestowing is used in the text to say that their skills are bestowed/granted because they rarely require the assistance of others.  

“The Life of Charlotte Bronte” was written by Elizabeth Gaskell in 1857. It is Bronte’s biography.

It is also a respectful thing to do, as it shows the speaker that we value his time. In this example, Sam is listening, understanding and thinking about the information. However, his body language conveys disinterest. Therefore, the speaker is likely to think he is not interested in what is being said.
