The correct answers are:

C. She knighted Sir Francis Drake for his successful voyage around the world.  

Francis Drake was crowned knight by the queen Elizabeth on April 4th in 1581, when he returned from a trip around the world through the Strait of Magellan, being the second person in the world to perform such a feat.

D. She supported literature and the arts in a period known as "the Elizabethan Age."  

The reign of Isabel was characterized by a great cultural and civil development, which has gone down in history as "Elizabeth Age". Such flourishing occurred in literature and mainly in the theater, especially with William Shakespeare, Christopher Marlowe, Ben Jonson, John Webster, John Ford and others. Great development also had music (William Byrd, John Bull) and architecture, influenced by Italian Renaissance and flamenco culture.

E. She declared England a Protestant nation and restored the Church of England as the nation’s official church.

Elizabeth's father was King Henry VIII, who is known to encourage the separation of the Church of England because the Pope did not want to grant him a divorce. However Mary, Elizabeth's stepsister took the throne before her and restored England to Catholicism. She was married with Felipe II of Spain, which relationship with the Catholic church was very close.

After Mary's death, Elizabeth began to reign and one of her first actions was to declare the Uniformity Act (It established the obligatory reading of a Protestant book and attendance at Sunday worship) and the Supremacy Act (Subordinated the Catholic Church of England to the Crown).

She is known as the creator of the Anglican Church which is the first Protestant Official Church in any country.

Answers A and B are incorrect because Isabel was known as the "Virgin Queen" as she never had married and she didn´t have any children; and she sustained an important war with Spain and its king Felipe II.
