Explanation:
Question:
1. Define the following concepts 1.1. Self-confidence.Answer:
Self-confidence is an attitude about your skills and abilities. It means you accept and trust yourself and have a sense of control in your life. You know your strengths and weakness well, and have a positive view of yourself. You set realistic expectations and goals, communicate assertively, and can handle criticism. On the other hand, low self-confidence might make you feel full of self-doubt, be passive or submissive, or have difficulty trusting others. You may feel inferior, unloved, or be sensitive to criticism. Feeling confident in yourself might depend on the situation. For instance, you can feel very confident in some areas, such as academics, but lack confidence in others, like relationships.Having high or low self-confidence is rarely related to your actual abilities, and mostly based on your perceptions. Perceptions are the way your think about yourself and these thoughts can be flawed.Note: If this is for a test, I recommend taking the important parts (the underlined sentences and parts) and putting it into your question.

Essay about Genarations
We all know that humans have been inhabiting this earth for a long time. Over time, times have changed and humans have evolved. The world became developed and so did mankind. Each generation has seen new changes and things that the older generations have not.
This is exactly what creates a generation gap. It is how one generation differs from the other. It is quite natural for a generation gap to exist. Why? Because it shows that mankind is evolving and changing for the better. However, sometimes this gap impacts our lives wrongly.
It is always nice to have fresh ideas and points of view. It is a clear indication of how we are advancing and developing at a great level. However, when this clash of ideas and viewpoints becomes gets too much, it becomes a matter of worry.
The most common result of this clash is distanced relations. Generally, a generation gap is mostly seen between parents and kids. It shows that parents fail to understand their kids and vice versa. The parents usually follow the traditions and norms.
Likewise, they expect their children to conform to the societal norms as they have. But the kids are of the modern age with a broad outlook. They refuse to accept these traditional ways.
This is one of the main reasons why the conflict begins. They do not reach a solution and thus distance themselves because of misunderstandings. This is a mistake at both ends. The parents must try not to impose the same expectations which their parents had from them. Similarly, the kids must not outright wrong their parents but try to understand where this is coming from.

Answer:
The Mole debuted 15 years ago today on ABC, and even a decade and a half later, it remains one of the best reality television shows.
Instead of survival in the wilderness, there was opulent living. The contestants stayed in gorgeous hotels and enjoyed comfortable accommodations and meals.
Its contestants competed in challenges to earn money, but one of the contestants was secretly working for the producers, trying to thwart the group’s efforts. Those challenges had physical components, but usually, they demanded thinking. The games toyed with the players, from tiny bubbles to burning bags.
As the players tried to figure out the identity of the mole, so could the audience, and while the alleged clues planted in the episodes were corny, that added a level of interactivity and made The Mole even more engaging.
Host Anderson Cooper was more of a casual presence than other competition hosts, eating dinner with the contestants and joking with them. The players developed friendships that, of course, had the potential of being challenged.
It was entertainment with wit and depth and plenty of excitement.

#1 In this passage, which element does Mandela add to his description of the courage he needed to succeed in his mission?
In life, every man has twin obligations—obligations to his family, to his parents, to his wife and children; and he has an obligation to his people, his community, his country. In a civil and humane society, each man is able to fulfill those obligations according to his own inclinations and abilities. But in a country like South Africa, it was almost impossible for a man of my birth and color to fulfill both of those obligations. In South Africa, a man of color who attempted to live as a human being was punished and isolated. In South Africa, a man who tried to fulfill his duty to his people was inevitably ripped from his family and home and was forced to live a life apart, a twilight existence of secrecy and rebellion. I did not in the beginning choose to place my people above my family, but in attempting to serve my people, I found that I was prevented from serving my obligations as a son, a brother, a father, and a husband.
