The accurate statements about the presidency of Jimmy Carter are:

  1. Carter tried to solve problems of national debt and energy conservation by asking people to make sacrifices.
  2. Carter served as a peacemaker between Egypt and Israel.

The other statements are not accurate:

  • Carter was in favor of the Soviet Union's invasion of Afghanistan. (This is false; in fact, Carter condemned the invasion and responded by boycotting the 1980 Moscow Olympics and increasing military spending.)
  • Carter could not convince Congress to accept the Panama Canal Treaties. (This is also false; Carter did successfully negotiate the treaties, which were ultimately ratified by the Senate.)

So, the correct responses are the first two statements.
