1. To determine which word means the same as "confidence" in the given sentence, we need to understand the context.

2. To identify which language convention is violated in the sentence, we need to examine the sentence structure and grammar rules. The sentence in question starts with "The gist of the saying went something like this," which suggests an introductory clause.
