Yes. The writer exactly mentioned about the case "「不安定」でしかも「内部」" right before that sentence, right?

So what is exactly でも? ''Even''?

Right.
Even in the same category "Inside", the case "Stability" leads to impotent feelings.

問題１。
久しぶりの温泉であった。きらきらひかる若葉の向うに沈む夕日を露天風呂からながめるのは気持ちがいいものだ。冬なら蟹を目当てに客が大勢来るのであろうが、その日は静かであった。部屋といい、料理といいすばらしい宿だ。さすが温泉好きの友人の紹介だけのことはある。
この文の内容とあうものは１・２・３のどれか。
１ 筆者は初夏に温泉に行った。
２ 筆者は冬に温泉に行った。
３ 筆者は秋に温泉に行った。
問題２。
料理の本を書くなど、思いがけないご依頼を悩みつつもお受けしたのですが、私はプロの料理人ではないので、レストランで出されるようなものはできません。読んでくれた人が作ってみたいと思うような家庭料理を、家族との思い出や写真とともに紹介させていただきたいと思います。
この文の内容とあうものは１・２・３のどれか。
１ 筆者は家族と行ったレストランの思い出を書く。
２ 筆者は読者が作りたくなるような料理の本を書く。
３ 筆者は家族が好きな家庭料理の本を書く。
So these are the exercises I don't understand.
About 1: 冬なら蟹を目当てに客が大勢来るのであろうが、その日は静かであった points to 初夏?
About 2: If the answer only refer 読んでくれた人が作ってみたいと思うような家庭料理を、家族との思い出や写真とともに紹介させていただきたいと思います, what are the rest of 家族との思い出や写真とともに紹介させていただきたいと思います mean here?

1)
Not really. There is a specific word to show the season in the paragraph.
2)
If you understand the meaning of that part correctly, you can get that it doesn't mean 家族が好きな家庭料理, but if you misunderstand that part, you might think that #3 is the correct answer. Thus, it works as a catch question.

1. The sentence you quoted is nothing more than a trap for people who don't (or can't) read the text and only scan it for the name of a season. It says "If it were winter right now, there would be a lot of visitors, but (it's not winter so) this day is quiet." The actual current season isn't mentioned, but there's a clue that lets you derive it. (This pattern of "trap + clue" is very common in the JLPT)
2. The answer should become clear if you simplify the sentence like this:
(...)ような家庭料理を(...)とともに紹介したいと思います

若葉 only gives me 季 夏?
Indeed I don't get that part.
''Let me introduce the 家庭料理 which the reader wants to make together with the memories and the photos with the family''. ? Is 読んでくれた人 the subject of 思う. That's the only thing I can make sense of?

Read my post more carefully. I ALSO think like that but Toritoribe said there is a SPECIFIC word. That's why I make a different reply.

Exactly. As lanthas-san pointed out, "冬なら蟹を目当てに客が大勢来るのであろうが" shows it's not "winter", but still #3 also can be correct. 若葉 is the key word that the season is 初夏.
2)
読んでくれた人 is not the subject of 思います. (読んでくれた人 is plural, by the way.) Also, 家族 is not the readers' family.

Then 家族 is the writer's family? It still doesn't make sense.

I think you misunderstood me. I meant [読んでくれた人が作ってみたいと思う]ような家庭料理を、家族との思い出や写真とともに紹介させていただきたいと思います, not
読んでくれた人が[作ってみたいと思うような家庭料理を、家族との思い出や写真とともに紹介させていただきたい]と思います

Ah, then you meant ''Let me introduce [the 家庭料理 which the reader wants to make] together with the memories and the photos with the family", and 思う you mentioned referred to 作ってみたいと思う, not 思います at the end of the sentence? Why doesn't this make sense? (The family is my(= the writer's) family, though.)

You said "Then 家族 is the writer's family? It still doesn't make sense." after that, no? Which is it; you already understand it, or you don't understand it yet?

I didn't say specifically it is the readers' family wasn't it? 家族 has to be the writer's family.
家庭料理 is just something in common.

OP: Do you know the English expression "Don't bite the hand that feeds you"? It's good advice for you.
...
I have a question about reading passage #2 (家庭料理の本):
What is the most likely context in which these words are being written?
I have been assuming that it was an author writing to his publisher to explain what kind of book he has decided to write, in response to a previous request from the publisher, and NOT, for example, the words written in the introduction part of an already published book. Does that sound right? よろしくお願いします。

Yes, your interpretation is correct.

Just one point. This would be more likely a cultural thing, not a grammatical one including wordings used there, but judging from プロの料理人ではない, 家庭料理 or 家族との思い出, I think it's more common to interpret that the writer is female. In fact, many home cooking books are written by housewives in Japan, as you might know.
