cordial interactions ---> good will ---> trust ---> peace

A. Could be true, but not necessarily. We have no information about how groups at war treat each other.
B. Cordial interactions precede trust in the relationship given by the stimulus, so this gets the order backwards
C. As with A, this could be true, but it's not guaranteed.
D. Good will must occur between both factions, not just one.
E. If they've reached the end result, they must have started with the first step of cordial interactions.
