I know what I think the obvious answer is to each question.  I have never heard anyone say those thigns,  but I am giong to go out on a limb here, and say, "none" for each one.  A shot in the dark.

I'm guessing E for all of them. I hope I'm not being biased, but I'm pretty sure that Hillary Clinton said one of them. Maybe she said all of them.
