-----------------
What is the right definition of 'bold'? What is the right position of 'not'?
2 is better.
The word 'bold' is an adjective that describes someone who is fearless, confident, and willing to take risks. The definition of 'bold' in both sentences 1 and 2 is the same.
The position of the word 'not' in these sentences changes the meaning. In sentence 1, 'not' is placed before the verb 'afraid', which means that the person is indeed not afraid of taking risks and making difficult decisions. In sentence 2, 'not' is placed before the adjective 'bold', which means that the person is the opposite of bold, suggesting that they are afraid of taking risks and making difficult decisions.
