The correct answers are:
A. She brings a lamp to view her husband’s face during the night.
D. She opens the box of beauty given to her by Persephone.
Explanation: In the myth of Psyche, she disobeys the directive from Cupid (her husband) not to look at him by bringing a lamp to see his face while he sleeps. Later, she also disobeys another directive when she opens the box of beauty that Persephone had given her, even though she was warned not to do so. These acts of disobedience play a significant role in her story and the challenges she faces. If you have more questions or need further help, feel free to ask!
