The correct answers are D and A.
You see, to answer the first question we would need to look at the meaning of the word daunted, (of which means intimitated by) and then check the context clues of the sentence around it. This shows that the other participants in the event were intimitated by Mr. Kevin Jones.
To get the second answer, (which had me stumped for a minute) we need to think about how the sentence is being addressed. The sentence is suggesting the the plans of a nation should be demonstrated or portrayed by the youth of that very nation. It also speaks of an interest in which the youth should have in the nations plans. This shows us that the speaker wants to persuade the readers into the opinion of which the sentence demonstrates.
Hope this helps and have a nice day.
