Analyze the prompt requirements

The question asks for two phrases that provide textual evidence of the specific characteristics of students that Cecil Rhodes believed would make important and positive contributions to the world.

Evaluate the options

Using Reading Comprehension, we analyze each choice:

• Option 1: "Rhodes Scholars have gone on to become heads of government..." describes the actual careers of scholars, not the characteristics Rhodes believed they should possess.
• Option 2: "...gives the scholar a stipend..." describes financial details of the scholarship.
• Option 3: "...esteemed and coveted award given to motivated, intelligent, and driven students" describes general qualities of the award recipients, but does not directly quote or represent Rhodes's specific vision of moral character traits.
• Option 4: "...Cecil Rhodes, a British philanthropist who wished to bring students..." describes Rhodes's action and wish to bring students to Oxford, not their personal characteristics.
• Option 5: "...truth, courage, devotion to duty, sympathy for and protection of the weak" directly lists the specific moral characteristics and virtues that Rhodes believed would lead to positive contributions.
• Re-evaluating Option 3: "motivated, intelligent, and driven students" represents the personal characteristics of the students selected, which aligns with the qualities believed to make positive contributions.

Thus, the two correct phrases describing student characteristics are Option 3 and Option 5.
