    B you to think on your feet and Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C call on all your resources to Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D get passed them, reaffirming your commitment Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The word ‘passed’ is inappropriate here. The correct word is ‘past’. The phrase ‘get past something’ means ‘to be able to stop something from affecting you, upsetting you, or influencing you’. For one thing, they require you to think on your feet and call on all your resources to get past them, reaffirming your commitment.
