Look at Greek Grammar Beyond the Basis for any grammar specific to this section.
Focus on the resource that asks the exegetical questions at the end of each passage.
Try to limit the paper to 12 pages but read the resources to be prepared to answer questions.
Look at textual variants as well.

2 Peter 1:21
ὑπὸ πνεύματος ἁγίου φερόμενοι ἐλάλησαν ἀπὸ θεοῦ ἄνθρωποι
for no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men carried along by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.
Most early manuscripts have “men carried along by the Holy Spirit spoke from God,” but some early manuscripts and related later witnesses have “holy men of God spoke as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.”
Both options ultimately communicate similar information, that the Holy Spirit influenced the ones who spoke.
However, they achieve this in different ways.
