could you share the OAs. i do not think apart from C any other sentence has an error. we could use 'keep to' in B but keep is fine as well.

@[473606:C00L]-i think its A B and C !!

In E, and adapt is wrong; it shud be and to adapt;becoz in D if u see "entail the abilities to resist" so parallel error..

A- not only for economies but also for human beings.
B- Correct
C- And should not be used... opportunity in hardship, consider resilence a key(Who considers- THE pschologists)
D- I dont like the use of abilities.. but it doesnt seem to violate any rule.
E- one's is redundant.
and adapt as creatively as possible to setbacks and loses.
so B and D
Tricky one...
