Answer: The replacement word that would best clarify the meaning of "self-respect" is B. confidence.

Explanation: The word "self-respect" is a noun used to refer to the feeling of pride that a person has in himself/herself. In that way, "self-respect" is similar to the word "confidence", which can be defined as the feeling of trust in oneself's abilities or powers. However, "confidence" is more specific and adds clarity to the meaning of "self-respect". In contrast, the words "anger", "honesty" and "passion" are not closely related to "self-respect".

The correct answer is B. Confidence

Explanation:

In the excerpt the student wrote, the word "self-respect" refers to the pride or honor Hester has about herself to accept her situation and punishment, which is contrasted with Reverend Dimmesdale keeping the secret and living a double life. This implies, self-respect in this context refers to Hester's pride of herself and therefore this word can be replaced by the word confidence that also means to believe in oneself. Also, other words such as anger, passion or honesty are not appropriate because they would change the original meaning of the text. According to this, the word that would clarify the meaning fo "self-respect" by being more precise is confidence.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The last time I used a text reference successfully to preview, prepare for, review, or locate the information I was learning was precisely last week.

I was trying to learn more about the Revolutionary War of Independence, trying to collect some valid information to write an essay. So I had to search on the internet because the school library and the local library are closed. So I search on the internet to look for some secondary sources that could help me do my work.

To do so, I had to use a text reference to search for the proper information and be more specific. Doing this I found very good information about the reasons the American colonists had to start the Revolutionary War against the British troops. I even found something that caught my attention: Thomas Pain's "Common Sense." A pamphlet which ideas served as inspiration for the American colonists.
