Which statement mirrors the attitude of a fatalist?

Answer the question based on the following passage.

            An important variable affecting communication across
            cultures is fate and personal responsibility. This refers to
            the degree to which we feel ourselves the masters of our
            lives, versus the degree to which we see ourselves as
(5)       subject to things outside our control. Another way to look at
            this is to ask how much we see ourselves able to change and
            maneuver, to choose the course of our lives and relationships.
            Some have drawn a parallel between the emphasis on
            personal responsibility in North American settings and the
(10)      landscape itself. The North American landscape is vast,
            with large spaces of unpopulated territory. The frontier
            mentality of "conquering" the wilderness, and the
            expansiveness of the land stretching huge distances, may
            elate to generally high levels of confidence in the ability to
(15)      shape and choose our destinies. In this expansive landscape,
            many children grow up with an epic sense of life, where ideas
            are big, and hope is eternal. When they experience setbacks,
            they are encouraged to redouble their efforts, to "try, try again."
            Action, efficacy, and achievement are emphasized and expected.
(20)      Free will is enshrined in laws and enforced by courts.
            Now consider places in the world with much smaller territory,
            whose history reflects repeated conquests and harsh struggles:
            Northern Ireland, Mexico, Israel, Palestine. In these places,
            there is more emphasis on destiny's role in human life. In
(25)      Mexico, there is a legacy of poverty, invasion, and territorial
            mutilation. Mexicans are more likely to see struggles as inevitable
            or unavoidable. Their fatalistic attitude is expressed in their way
            of responding to failure or accident by saying "ni modo" ("no
            way" or "tough luck"), meaning that the setback was destined.
(30)      This variable is important to understand cultural conflict. If
            someone invested in free will crosses paths with someone
            more fatalistic in orientation, miscommunication is likely.
            The first person may expect action and accountability. Failing
            to see it, they may conclude that the second is lazy,
(35)      obstructionist, or dishonest. The second person will expect
            respect for the natural order of things. Failing to see it, they
            may conclude that the first is coercive or irreverent, inflated in
           his ideas of what can be accomplished or changed.
