Judging by how the narrator's musings are not yet true, I'd say the answer is "to speak too soon".
Answer:
A. self-confidence
Explanation:
Being self-confident means that you are proud to be who you are. You know about your strengths and weaknesses. You know that you are good at what you are do and you are proud. That means that you are in a good position to represent yourself because you are happy and proud of who you are.
The Subjunctive is used to emphasize urgency or importance. It is used after certain expressions (see below).
Examples:
<span><span>I suggest that he study.</span><span>Is it essential that we be there?</span><span>Don recommended that you join the committee.
</span></span>
More of an action than a mood.
