Answer 1

make them ' ' lines means you need to replace the - in front of the line with a (space).

Answer 2

A hunk like this:

+ bbb <-- line added
- aaa <-- line deleted
  ccc <-- line unchanged

will turn into content like this:

bbb
ccc

To keep a line marked for deletion (prefixed with '-'), turn it into a line with the same prefix as the unchanged line above (so it will stay the same):

+ bbb
  aaa
  ccc

When the hunk is applied, the contents will look like this:

bbb
aaa
ccc
