Answer 2

a. "He" refers to Jack the protagonist and the narrator of this particular story.

b. "Scrapped" refers to scratching or dragging something across a surface with a considerable amount of noise.

c. John Updike is the author of the chapter "Should Wizard hit Mommy ?"

d. He thinks he needs to go down as his heavily pregnant wife was moving furniture and he had promised her that he would help her. Thus he feels guilty and tries to wrap up the storytelling as soon as possible to go and help Clare.
