The correct statements that accurately describe Elizabeth I are:

  1. She defeated the Spanish Armada, clearing the way for England to build an empire.
  2. She restored the Church of England as the nation’s official church.

The other statements regarding imprisoning Francis Drake for attacking Spanish ships are incorrect; he was celebrated for his exploits against the Spanish, and he was not imprisoned for his actions. Additionally, while Elizabeth I's reign was significant, it lasted from 1558 to 1603, which is not characterized as a short reign but rather a lengthy and impactful one in English history.
