Answer 1

Gotta love literary speak.

Context--the time and place a work (book, essay, or poem) is written. The context may include the city and country where the author lived when he/she wrote the book. It also takes into account any important political events going on at the time, the state of the economy, and society in general, especially people's attitudes, customs and beliefs.

Text--any written work or excerpt of such. It may be fiction or non-fiction.

Constructed--written, organized. Basically, what was going on around the author that caused him/her to think a certain way and therefore write this piece of literature this way?

So how does change of context affect the way a text is constructed? Imagine how A Tale of Two Cities might be different if it were written by a modern American author instead of Charles Dickens in Victorian England. What social issues might be brought up by a modern author?

Adapted text--another version of a "classic" work, written by a more comtemporary author. How has society changed from the time that the original work was written to the time the adaptation was made? Now assuming that each author is a product of their society, how have those changes in society affected each author's beliefs, based on what you can see by reading what they wrote?

It's asking you how the meaning of a sentence can change depending on the reader and how the sentence is interpreted.

"I felt the earth."

The above sentence could be interpreted several different ways.  It be a farmer, talking about how he took a handful of dirt and squeezed it, testing the moisture and consistency.  It could be a seismologist (someone who studies earthquakes), putting his hand on the ground to check for a tremor.  Or, it could be an environmentalist, trying to say that they 'feel' the 'pain' of pollution, as in "I felt the Earth" or "I felt the Earth's pain."

Depending on what has happened before this phrase is uttered, we interpret it in a different way.  If we had just met the farmer with dirt covered hands, and he told us that the soil was fertile because he 'felt the earth', we would know what he was talking about.  This is the 'context'.
