Answer 2

A and C are the correct answers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Both excerpts belong to the address delivered by American president Franklin D. Roosevelt, delivered during his first inauguration on March 4, 1933.

The first excerpt came after Roosevelt talked about foreign policy -the policy of good neighbor- and he pointed out that determination was necessary to solve the crisis, so it meant that he would take any action necessary to restore economic stability.

The second excerpt belongs to the beginning of the address. The speaker mentioned the "support of people" and how it is "essential to victory" meaning that leaders are more successful with the support of people.
