Explanation:

"The Dark Game" by Paul Janeczko contains numerous spy stories across the American continent that the US government had done in its secret missions. It also details other spy or confidential secrets of the spy world including cyber espionage and surveillance satellites, involving many nations that America has dealt with.

In the given excerpt from the book, the author talks of Elizabeth Van Lew, a woman spy who overcame societal constrictions when women were expected to stay at home and take care of the household work. She not only became a spymaster, working in secret missions. She also ran a "network of agents, couriers, and safe houses that was very active during the war", while maintaining her "Church Hill home as a safe house and something of a local Union spy headquarters". Through this, she showed her dedication to her work, even beyond her family, and also proves women are capable of doing "outside" work and not be expected to just stay at home, even taking on the roles that only men generally take like being a spy.

Thus, the correct answers are the first and second options.
