PLZ...Help!!?

Question:1 - The metaphor, "No man is an island entire of itself" means:
a - everyone should participate in one religion to be unified.
b - the Puritan views are the correct views.
c - all of mankind is a single unit, created by God.
d - mankind lives apart from one another.

2 - In "Meditation 17," the phrase "ask not for whom the bell tolls, the bell tolls for thee" means:
a - everyone needs to do his or her part.
b - one man's death should affect us all since we are all mankind.
c - death comes to all of us.
d - BOTH B AND C.

10 points for best answer. plz help!! thank you so MUCH!!

Answers:
I would go with c for #1 and d for #2
I would say 1) c and 2) b

the first one is pretty obvious because it's just saying that all of mankind is in unity contrasting with 'island'.

I would go with b for number two because it's saying you shouldn't ask whom it's affecting because everything happening to everyone affects you as well. So when you asks who is being effected you can always answer yourself.

The last explanation was a little wordy, but I hope it makes sense!
None of the answers really fits the bill in your first example. "No man is an island"...("He's a peninsula" is what Grace Slick of the then Jefferson Airplane once said!) means that, although we come into and go out of this world alone, we all are basically interdependent on others.
As for "for whom the bell tolls", I'd lean most toward "c" -- eventually we're all going to die.
