Part 1: Character Traits Matching
We need to match each trait on the left with the correct description on the right.
-
timid → This means someone who is shy or scared easily. So it matches:
*“a person who shows a lack of courage or confidence”*
-
stubborn → This means someone who won’t change their mind, even if they should. So it matches:
*“showing determination to not change one’s attitude”*
-
grouchy → This means someone who is often in a bad mood or gets angry easily. So it matches:
*“a person who is irritable or bad-tempered”*
✔ Final matches:
- timid → a person who shows a lack of courage or confidence
- stubborn → showing determination to not change one’s attitude
- grouchy → a person who is irritable or bad-tempered
