The correct answers are: 3) The South could not replace fallen soldiers and 4) Stonewall Jackson was killed in battle.

Even when he had a profound victory in The Battle of Chancellorsville, Robert E. Lee was having a hard time defending the Confederate's cause because his army had many terrible loses in said battle, including the death of his right hand, Stonewall Jackson, and about 1/5 of his soldiers.
