Explanation:

This question refers to the article "How Resilience Works" by Diane Coutu. This article mainly deals with the meaning of resilience, its importance in many aspects of life, its origins and all that is supported by many examples of people who are considered resilient as well as by statements from psychologists, psychiatrists, philosophers and successful businessmen.

Throughout the text, the author relates resilience to other characteristics such as strong value system (which doesn't necessarily needs to be ethically right) and the ability to bravely accept and face the reality (optimistic view on the situation can lead to disaster).

These author's ideas are best supported by sentences C. and E.

i'm sorry i don't understand the question.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
