Let's check the given options in order to discard what is included or not in the response :

An idea of what makes someone a hero: This idea has been included where we read "Heroes are people who improve other people's lives without asking for anything in return". Improving other people's lives and Helping them without asking for anything in return is what makes a hero.

An example of a hero: This hasn't been included here. An example of hero would include someone's name, or alias and would explain what does that "hero" do to be considered a "hero"

A characteristic of a hero: This idea has been included where we read: "may risk their own safety to make the world a better place". Since it could be taken as a description, it can be taken too as a hero's characteristics, since (according to this context) heroes have specific characteristics which can not be confused.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

(you didn't attach a copy of the poem, but i'm answering as best as i can)

since a simile compares two unlike things using like or as, it kind of gives an item the ability to do something it can't.

example: "the player was like a tiger on the field"

in this sentence, the simile conveys the idea that the player was fast and strong, like a tiger.
