Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Gratitude is characterized by a sense of thankfulness and positivity, as exemplified by the woman's focus on what she has rather that what she lacks. Transcendence involves an awareness of a reality beyond oneself and hope is an expectation that looks to the future. Fatalism is a resignation to the inevitability of life events.
