Explanation:

We need to find sentences in Passage 2 that support an unspecified answer in Part A. Without knowing Part A, we can't be certain, but we analyze the content - relatedness of each option. Option A emphasizes wisdom and forethought winning, which could support a positive - outcome related answer in Part A. Option E about Prometheus's knowledge making him strong could also support an answer related to strength or perseverance in Part A.

The word "mechanical" is redundant when referring to a "robot" since a robot is by nature mechanical. So, just using the word "robot" is sufficient to eliminate the redundancy.

Answer:

A. "In the end, wisdom and forethought will win." (paragraph 3)
E. "Prometheus himself knew that some day he should be set free, and this knowledge made him strong to endure. (paragraph 17)"
