for question 2, A is a decent inference given the description of author's style. I eliminated B-D with these lines:

B- her fictive world remains strikingly akin to that real one reflected in the daily newspapers (not much of a romance novel)
C- ..some of it appears to come from her own direct observations... much more is clearly from the experiences of others (Sci-Fi is no one's experience)
D- ...has seemed at times determinedly old-fashioned (not a very likely talk show.)

1) Option D. The author has given info about the career of the write.

2) "Hers is a world of violence, insanity, fractured love, and hopeless loneliness" identifies that she would have probably opted for a love story with unhappy ending
