The correct answers are letters "B", "D" and "E": They are easy to manage, because they are likely to do what they are told; They believe that luck plays an important role in life; They are hard to motivate.

Explanation:

In psychology, locus of control refers to the attributions individuals give to their experiences related to success or failure. People with an internal locus of control believe their success is the result of their efforts. These individuals are more willing to learn. On the other hand, individuals with an external locus of control believe in faith or luck and are reluctant to learn new things.

Thus, someone who does what is told, who believes in luck and is hard to motivate has a strong external locus of control.
