    A logical reaction after witnessing a fatality are feelings of hope, clarity, and possible elation or joy.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Witnessing a fatality is a traumatic event that typically elicits feelings of shock, sadness, grief, and sometimes even guilt or anger. It is highly unlikely for someone to feel hope, clarity, elation, or joy after witnessing a fatality. These emotions are more commonly associated with positive events or outcomes, rather than a tragic incident like a fatality. Therefore, the statement is false.

    When a person displays a cynical attitude, his or her behavior often causes others to think or suspect that they are unhappy.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    When a person displays a cynical attitude, it often means that they have a negative and distrustful outlook on life. This behavior can be off-putting to others and may lead them to believe that the person is unhappy. Cynicism tends to involve skepticism and criticism, which can create a negative atmosphere and make others perceive the person as unhappy. Therefore, it is reasonable to say that when someone displays a cynical attitude, it often causes others to think or suspect that they are unhappy.

    Correct Answer
    A. Affirmative

    What I believe to be a ___________________ may not be true for someone else because opinions vary greatly about what is beneficial.

    • Assumption

    • Cynical

    • Commodity

    • Fatality

    Correct Answer
    A. Commodity
    Explanation
    Opinions about what is beneficial can vary greatly from person to person. What one person may consider to be a commodity, or something that is valuable or useful, may not be seen the same way by someone else. This suggests that the perception of what is beneficial is subjective and can differ based on individual preferences and perspectives.

    A. To take on
    Explanation

In this context, "assume" refers to the act of willingly taking on a task or responsibility.
