4. d
(Canine is the "literal meaning" for the genus to which dogs belong - the other choices are just slang synonyms.)
5. b
(Food imagery is also used in relation to Katrina Van Tassel: "She was a blooming lass of fresh eighteen; plump as a partridge.")*
9. a
(The protagonist is the main character in a drama or other literary work - that's definitely Ichabod.)
