Events are decided in advance by powers beyond one's control.
Explanation:
A fatalist is one who believes in fate (happening of events outside a person's control, predetermined by supernatural forces). This definition is also evident from the sentence which he himself says in explanation of fatalist i.e "What will be, will be", meaning what is bound to happen, will happen.
Option A is incorrect because fatalist is derived from fate, not fatal (deadly)
Options B and D are incorrect because they are opposite of what "fate/fatalist" mean.
An introductory paragraph is suppose to get the readers attention and tell the reader what they will learn when reading. This paragraph does not tell me what I would learn from reading this article.
