Final Answers:
1.
K – productive
2.
B – responsible
3.
H – empathetic
4.
G – efficient
5.
F – self-reliant
6.
A – playful
7.
L – skillful
---
Unused Traits:
- C. independent (similar to self-reliant, but not the best fit here)
- D. courageous
- E. powerful
- I. resilient
- J. kind
- K. productive (used)
- L. skillful (used)
Note: "Independent" and "self-reliant" are similar, but "self-reliant" fits Sam better since he's managing daily tasks alone. "Productive" is used for John doing a lot of work.
✔ So, the final matching is:
```
1. K
2. B
3. H
4. G
5. F
6. A
7. L
```
