Passo 1

A questão pede para completar quatro lacunas num texto em inglês, escolhendo entre pronomes reflexivos e preposições de um conjunto de alternativas. O conteúdo envolve concordância pronominal (singular/plural) e usos corretos de depend, put e able com preposições.

Passo 2

Na primeira lacuna: “an untold number of military members are deciding to move … _______.” Como o sujeito é plural (“military members”), o pronome reflexivo deve ser “themselves”, não “itself”.
Na segunda lacuna: “will depend _______ how organized and resourceful you are”. O verbo depend exige a preposição “on” para indicar “depender de”.
Na terceira lacuna: “how much sweat equity you put _______ the process”. O verbo put, nesse contexto, pede “into” para indicar “investir no processo”.
Na quarta lacuna: “If you’re able _______ pack, load, unload and unpack yourself”. A construção “able to + verbo” é a única correta, ou seja, deve vir “to pack”.

Passo 3

Verificando as alternativas que tragam, na ordem, “themselves / on / into / to”, concluímos que apenas a opção E corresponde a essa sequência.

Resposta

(E) themselves / on / into / to
