Little bit skeptical about A's construction.

A - smile adequately in magazine advertisements doesn't seem to be a good construction.
B - give an impression adequately - awkward construction
C - seems fine.
D & E - totally awkward construction.

Mixed between A/C.
Getting defeated is just a temporary notion, giving it up is what makes it permanent.
