🔍 Notes:
- Traits
E (irritable) and
F (procrastinating) were both used — wait! We already used
F in #1.
- Actually,
E (irritable) was not used. That’s okay — the directions said *not all* traits will be used.
- So unused traits:
E (irritable)
✔ All matches are logical and based on the tone and content of each sentence.

✔ Final Answer Key:
```
1. F
2. B
3. D
4. G
5. H
