I was only 3 years old, but I still remember how I felt on that day so long ago; I can still see how it all looked to me. My parents had taken us to the museum with them. They had been planning this outing for days and it was a special occasion. I remember mom wore a blue dress and my father had on a suit. My sister and I wore matching dresses and we had on our patent leather shoes.

(I can't add the red symbols but here is what it should look like) Hope this helps!

Read the passage below and answer the question.Whoso would be a man must be a nonconformist. He who would gather immortal palms
____ [38]

Answer:

Believe in yourself instead of conforming to the values of others.

Explanation:

Philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson in his essay "Self Reliance" argue about the effect of polite society on an individual's personal growth. Only self sufficiency is capable of providing freedom to an individual in discovering their true self and worth, bringing forth true independence on the individual.

He emphasized on the importance of an individual to follow their own voices rather than trying to conform to the dictates and values set by the society. He posits the issue of self reliance in oneself and the importance of the imaginary thinking capacity of an individual. He also argues that the most important realization for an individual is trusting himself. He promotes self reliance as an ideal virtue for everyone. "Believe in yourself instead of conforming to the values of others" best sums up the passage provided in the question.
