Solution

The correct options are
C The garden they had built was a wonderful place to be.
D He had the ability to read people's minds and predict their intentions.
Choice C and D are correct as the thesis statement very clearly tells what the essay is going to be about. Choice A is wrong as it does not give details about the mountain or the climbers. Choice B is wrong as it does not give details about which public or about the new policy. C and D are correct.
