Let's solve this worksheet step by step. The task is to
match the correct behavior (letter) to the character trait listed in each question. We need to choose the behavior that
best represents the missing character trait.
Here’s the breakdown of each question:
---
1. Cooperation
- A. not participating in a group
- B. forgetting to thank somebody
- C. hogging the ball
✔ Correct answer: A. not participating in a group
> *Explanation:* Cooperation means working well with others. Not participating in a group shows a lack of cooperation.
---
2. Trust
- A. spreading gossip
- B. forgetting to thank somebody
- C. breaking a promise
✔ Correct answer: C. breaking a promise
> *Explanation:* Trust involves reliability and honesty. Breaking a promise breaks trust.

3. Responsibility
- A. breaking a promise
- B. not finishing your work
- C. not participating in a group
✔ Correct answer: B. not finishing your work

4. Persistence
- A. doing your best when it's hard
- B. breaking a promise
- C. spreading gossip
✔ Correct answer: A. doing your best when it's hard

5. Integrity
- A. forgetting to thank somebody
- B. spreading gossip
- C. breaking a promise
✔ Correct answer: C. breaking a promise

---
6. Kindness
- A. doing your best when it's hard
- B. hogging the ball
- C. tripping a classmate
✔ Correct answer: C. tripping a classmate
> *Explanation:* Kindness is treating others with care and respect. Tripping someone is unkind.
Wait — but the question says "provide the letter that best describes the behavior for the character trait that is missing." That means we are looking for the
behavior that does NOT show the trait. So, if the trait is kindness, then
tripping a classmate is the opposite — so
C is correct.
But let's double-check:
We’re matching the
behavior that shows a lack of the trait. So yes,
C. tripping a classmate is not kind.
✔ Answer: C

7. Optimism
