More important, a host of unemployed citizens face the grim problem of existence, and an equally great number toil with little return. Only a foolish optimist can deny the dark realities of the moment. Our most important task is to put people to work. This is not an unsolvable problem if we face it
wisely and courageously. There are many ways in which people can be helped, but we can never truly help others by merely talking about it. We must
act and act quickly.

✅encourages optimism and hope  ➡ "not an unsolvable problem"

Explanation:

I have been able to match each excerpt from the passage with the statement that best describes its effect.

A "foolish optimist" actually characterizes opposing viewpoints in a negative light. He tends to be optimistic even in overwhelming negativity.

The "grim problem of existence" tells about how serious and disheartening the situation or condition is.

Their "not an unsolvable problem" denotes that there is hope and one is very optimistic for a solution.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
