Answer 1

I believe it's C for example Junior Reserve Optimal Tactful Clingless (JROTC)

Answer 2

It is important to ensure that the omission does not change the meaning of the original quote. The aim is to shorten or tighten a long quote by eliminating unnecessary words or sentences, but the overall meaning of the quote should remain intact. In conversational writing, an ellipsis is sometimes used to show a pause or a break in the writer's thought process.
