Answer: Be strong and of good courage
God told Joshua to "be strong and of good courage" because He would always be with Joshua, so Joshua had nothing to fear.
The command "fear not" or "do not be afraid" and any other forms of this command, including "be of good courage", is said to be in the Bible 365 times. The exact number, it appears, is not important. What is important is that God commands us to be not afraid more than He commands anything else. Why? 2 Timothy 1:7 answers this. In the King James Version, it says, "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind."

Answer: She helped the Hebrew spies.
Readers can find details about Rahab in Joshua chapters 2 and 6. To summarize, Joshua sent spies to Jericho. Rahab allowed them to stay in her house. When the king of Jericho realized that she had taken the Israelites in, he demanded that she release them, but she didn't. In fact, she hid the spies on her roof and lied because she said that they had already left her house. After the men of Jericho went searching for the Israelite spies, believing that they were on a road to Jordan, Rahab took a scarlet rope and let them escape safely from her roof. She also told them to go to the hill country and hide there for three days.
Because of her kindness, Joshua and the spies promised that they would spare her and her father's household (this would include her mother, father, and siblings) when they conquered Jericho. According to Joshua 6:25 of the New American Standard Bible, Rahab "has lived in the midst of Israel to this day", but neither the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament nor the New Testament say that Joshua married her. It is interesting to note, however, that unlike other men, such as Moses and Aaron, the Bible (both testaments) doesn't mention who Joshua married at all. There are extra-biblical, Rabbinic traditions that suggest Joshua and Rahab wed, but the New Testament states that Rahab married Salmon and became Boaz's mother. Some people have suggested that Salmon was one of the spies. The obvious conclusion is that she did give up her sinful life of prostitution and became a devout woman of God, a wife and mother, but that still isn't exactly the correct answer for the question.
Hebrews 11:31 and James 2:25 declare that Rahab was righteous for her belief in the LORD and also for her hospitality towards Israel's spies. According to Bodie Hogde of AnswersinGenesis.com, in his article, "A Righteous Lie?", it wasn't her dishonesty that was righteous, because the 9th Commandment condemns lying. Instead, she was righteous for giving them a place to stay and for sending them off to a safe area.
Both Rahab, a Canaanite, and her future daughter-in-law (I am basing this on the assumption that Boaz's mother was the same Rahab) Ruth, a Moabite, were Gentile women of idolatrous backgrounds who developed faith in the Hebrew God. According to the New Testament, Jesus Christ descended from the women.

Answer: Flax
Joshua 2:6. The two spies and Rahab had anticipated that the king of Jericho was going to conduct a search for the spies themselves. With that, Rahab lied to the king's henchmen who came for them, by telling them that she didn't know where the spies were, thus leading them away from her house.

Answer: The armed guard
"When Joshua had spoken to the people, the seven priests carrying the seven trumpets before the Lord went forward, blowing their trumpets, and the ark of the Lords covenant followed them. The armed guard marched ahead of the priests who blew the trumpets, and the rear guard followed the ark." (Joshua 6:8, NIV) Then they marched around the city 13 times. The priests blew their trumpets and the people shouted, and the walls came tumbling down.
