Fist year freshman who had surgery and missed class, needs help: The Allegory of the Cave

I need to know the answers to these questions:

How are Socrates and Glaucon, the speakers of this dialogue, also trapped in the cave's world of shadows?

To what is Plato alluding in Paragraph 30 when Socrates says that honors were given to "those who were the quickest to observe the passing shadows"?

What is the relationship of the questioner to the answer? What image of each person does the question and answer format create?
