Yea, I believe what you said is correct. 'Playing into fears' is basically saying 'feeding fears' or like you said, it was something they were afraid would happen, and then it did. Hope that helps!(:

AN is used when the first letter of the following word (in this case, a Year) begins with a vowel(a, e, i, o, u). For example, AN open door. For every other letter in the alphabet (consonants) you use A. For example, A pretty flower. I hope this helps for the first question(: I'm not sure about the second one.
