Answer 3

He was what people call a communist.

Answer 4

You must be in my art class... I'm looking up all these questions too.

I only know the first part.. the mural was destroyed because Rivera wanted to make an art piece that pieced together communism and capitalism.. this appalled the art directors at Rockefellar.. and they demanded he change it.. but he only offered to add Lincoln's image to the other side to balance it out. So they destroyed the piece during the night..
