I think the answer is B. It is not A, for it IS mandatory as it says that in the text. It is not C, because it is not said in the text, and it is an opinion. And it is not D, yet it is true. It has not been spoken of in the text. Therefore, B is your best bet. Hope this helps!
A theme that Geoffrey Chaucer develops through these two excerpts is that of treachery, since both King Peter of Spain and King Peter of Cyprus were betrayed and their lives ended tragically. King Peter of Spain was betrayed by a man named Bertrand, who had agreed to protect him in exchange for a great compensation, but who eventually handed him over to his half-brother, Henry, who promised him an even greater reward and who assassinated Peter in his tent in 1369, becoming the new king. This is narrated in the excerpt, where Bertrand is compared not with Oliver of Charlemagne, friend of Charlemagne, but with the knight that betrayed him ("No, Oliver of Charlemagne... such a trap!").
Peter I of Cyprus devoting his short yet intense life to fight Islam, and he led the short yet devastating Alexandrian Crusade, but his life ended abruptly. Betrayed by his wife and by some of his closer knights, he was assassinated in his bed also in 1369. This is also referred in the poem ("That conquered Alexandria... on thy bed!").
To sum up, both excerpts revolve around this theme, which they present very similarly: after emphasizing the deeds of the two historical characters, they finalize by regretting their tragic endings.
George Herbert, "The Collar" - cacophony
John Donne, Sonnet 10 - paradox
John Donne, "The Sun Rising" - hyperbole
Andrew Marvell, "To His Coy Mistress" - carpe diem
John Donne, "The Flea" - synecdoche
If there isn't room to stop, then you couldn't brake. If you want to avoid something it's unlikely that you would speed up to avoid it, so (B) - steer away - is the correct answer.

A. Ministers sometimes encourage people to make positive changes.

In the excerpt above, the minister was telling them that it would be good to pray for the governor and do whatever was necessary to heal the sour feeling they had about white people.
He was clearly encouraging them to pray, heal and try to dissolve the feelings they had towards whites.
This shows how ministers sometimes encourage people to make positive changes.
