Answer 1

4) 11th

6) either his fist breaks the glass and he makes it through the window, or his fist bounces back and the momentum built up causes him to fall.

7) he has realized that his wife is more important that his work.

9) family is more important that work

10) he is a hardworking man, but he is concerned about his status at work, so much that he has devoted his social life to it. at the same time, he is a logical man - he thinks through everything before he actually does it (ex. to go after the paper or not? to break the window glass or not?)
