For 2, I meant D

All are right.

1) The answer is c) are able to deal with others. When determining the answer to this question, one can eliminate options a) and b) as they are not related to the concept of resilience. To choose between the remaining options, one must understand what it means to be resilient. Resilient people are able to adapt and bounce back from adversity. This often involves having the skills to effectively cope and interact with others in challenging situations.

2) The answer is b) giving up the struggle to focus on his past successes. To determine the answer, one can analyze the context of the statement. The phrase "enjoy the view of the trees and the flowers below" suggests that the person is looking down from a higher point. By mentioning "pausing to enjoy," it implies taking a break or stepping back from the challenges or struggles in order to appreciate past successes.

3) The answer is c) they can make you realize that you can get through anything. To determine the answer, one must understand the concept of a surprise upside to life's downturns. Downturns or difficult times can be seen as opportunities for personal growth and development. They can provide valuable life lessons and help individuals build resilience. By going through challenging experiences and successfully overcoming them, one can gain the realization that they are capable of handling anything that comes their way.

4) The answer is a) "Please come with me, Sarah and Tom, to pick Mom's birthday present." Direct address is used when directly speaking to someone or addressing them by name. In this case, Sarah and Tom are being directly addressed. When using direct address, it is important to separate the names with commas to make it clear where the direct address ends and the rest of the sentence begins. Therefore, option a) is punctuated correctly with the correct placement of commas.
