1) The correct answer is c) are able to deal with others.
To determine the correct answer, you should carefully read the question and consider the options. In this case, the question is asking about a characteristic of resilient people. To find the answer, you should consider each option and eliminate the ones that don't fit the definition of resilience.
Option a) "complain when they have bad luck" is not a characteristic of resilient people. Resilient individuals are typically able to bounce back from challenges and setbacks without excessive complaining.
Option b) "bring good luck to others" is not directly related to resilience. While resilient people may positively impact others, the question is specifically asking about their ability to deal with others, not bring luck to them.
Option c) "are able to deal with others" is the most appropriate answer. Resilient individuals often have good interpersonal skills and are able to navigate relationships effectively.
Therefore, the correct answer is c) are able to deal with others.
2) The correct answer is c) being inspired by the beauty of the scenery.
To determine the correct answer, you should carefully read the question and consider the options. In this case, the question is asking about the meaning behind the phrase "enjoy the view of the trees and the flowers below."
Option a) "looking down at the view from the mountains" is not a correct interpretation of the phrase provided. The phrase states "trees and flowers below," which suggests a lower elevation viewpoint rather than looking down from a mountain.
Option b) "giving up the struggle to focus on his past successes" is not directly mentioned in the phrase provided. The phrase is about enjoying the present view, not reflecting on past successes.
Option c) "being inspired by the beauty of the scenery" aligns with the given phrase, as it implies finding inspiration and joy in the sight of trees and flowers below.
Option d) "taking pleasure in the challenges he's already overcome" is not directly mentioned in the phrase and does not relate to the trees and flowers below.
Therefore, the correct answer is c) being inspired by the beauty of the scenery.
3) The correct answer is c) they can make you realize that you can get through anything.
To determine the correct answer, you should carefully read the question and consider the options. In this case, the question is asking about the potential positive consequences of life's downturns.
Option a) "they can make you a different person" is a possible outcome of life's downturns. However, the question specifically asks about a "surprise upside," implying a positive outcome, and becoming a different person may not always be seen as a positive outcome.
Option b) "they can keep you from becoming stronger" is not a correct interpretation of life's downturns. Typically, overcoming challenges and downturns can contribute to personal growth and resilience, making individuals stronger.
Option c) "they can make you realize that you can get through anything" aligns with the idea that facing and overcoming adversity can increase one's belief in their ability to handle future challenges.
Option d) "they can keep you from depending on others except during emergencies" is not specifically mentioned in the question or the context of life's downturns. While experiencing downturns can increase independence, it is not the main focus of the question.
Therefore, the correct answer is c) they can make you realize that you can get through anything.
4) The correct answer is a) "Please come with me, Sarah and Tom, to pick Mom's birthday present."
To determine the correct answer, you should examine the punctuation and sentence structure of each option.
Option a) "Please come with me, Sarah and Tom, to pick Mom's birthday present." is punctuated correctly. It uses commas to separate the names of the individuals being addressed (Sarah and Tom) from the rest of the sentence, which is the request to pick Mom's birthday present. The use of commas in this option is appropriate for direct address.
Option b) "Please come with me, Sarah and Tom to pick Mom's birthday present" is missing a comma after "Tom." Without the comma, it may be interpreted that "Tom" is part of the direct object rather than being directly addressed.
Option c) "Please come with me, Sarah, Tom and pick Mom's birthday present" has several punctuation errors. The comma after "Sarah" should be removed because it is not necessary for direct address. There is also an inappropriate exclamation mark at the end of the sentence.
Option d) "Please come with me Sarah and Tom, to pick up Mom's birthday present" lacks a comma after "Sarah and Tom" for proper direct address. Additionally, it includes "pick up" instead of "pick" as mentioned in the other options.
Therefore, the correct answer is a) "Please come with me, Sarah and Tom, to pick Mom's birthday present."
