Answer:

There are many important qualities needed to be successful.

Explanation:

In order for a paragraph to have unity or coherence, it is important that all the sentences in it be related to the topic sentence or provide more specific information about the topic sentence. In the paragraph, the sentence “Personal initiative is one of life's greatest freebies” is the topic sentence (it summarizes the main idea of the paragraph). Most sentences add up to that main idea by describing what it means personal initiative, by laying out the benefits of having it, etc. But the sentence “There are many important qualities needed to be successful” is off-topic: it does not say anything that can be related to personal initiative.

Why did settlers believe that the right to take possession of western lands and use them as they saw was an essential part of am
meriva
The settlers saw the right to take possession of western lands and use them as they saw fitting as an essential element of American freedom. Settlers paid no attention to Indian land titles and admonished the government to set a low price on public land or give it away and regularly occupied land to which they had no legal title. Numerous settlers are also concerned unregulated population of lands west of Appalachian Mountains would aggravate constant warfare with Indians and viewed frontier settlers as disorganized and lacking reverence for authority.

What are some reasons why young people joined the red guards
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

According to a Red Guard leader, the movement's aims were as follows:

Chairman Mao has defined our future as an armed revolutionary youth organization...So if Chairman Mao is our Red-Commander-in-Chief and we are his Red Guards, who can stop us? First we will make China Maoist from inside out and then we will help the working people of other countries make the world red...And then the whole universe.[2]

Despite being met with resistance early on, the Red Guards received personal support from Mao, and the movement rapidly grew. Mao made use of the group as propaganda and to accomplish goals such as destroying symbols of China's pre-communist past, including ancient artifacts and gravesites of notable Chinese figures. However, the government was very permissive of the Red Guards, who were even allowed to inflict bodily harm on people viewed as dissidents. The movement quickly grew out of control, frequently coming into conflict with authority and threatening public security until the government made efforts to rein the youths in. The Red Guard groups also suffered from in-fighting as factions developed among them. By the end of 1968, the group as a formal movement had dissolved.
