Answer 1

Hi !

Hogg spent most of his youth and early manhood as a shepherd and was almost entirely self-educated. His talent was discovered early by Sir Walter Scott, to whom he supplied material for Scott’s Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border. Before publishing The Queen’s Wake (1813), a book of poems concerning Mary Stuart, Hogg went in 1810 to Edinburgh, where he met Lord Byron, Robert Southey, and William Wordsworth. Of Hogg’s prolific poetic output, only a few narrative poems and ballads included in the Wake are of lasting value. Among them are “Kilmeny” and “The Witch of Fife.” Probably a more important work is Hogg’s novel The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner (1824), a macabre tale of a psychopath that anticipates the modern psychological thriller.

Hope this helps

Answer 2

c. One of his main goals was the success of big business.

Explanation:

• James Hogg also tried to stop other large companies from abusing their powers. He called insurance providers "wildcat," forced many of them to leave the state and compelled some to work in compliance with the legal criteria. Texas was the second state under his administration to enact a practicable antitrust statute.
• He established the Texas Railroad Commission and sought to regulate the power of lobbyists and put some control over corporations in Texas, -which were operated  in Texas however but headquartered out of the nation or out of state
