When someone is discouraged, they are dispirited, disheartened, and with a lack of enthusiasm; this has a negative implication.
All other options have positive connotations, except maybe bulb, which is pretty neutral.

Answer:
statement, sympathy, less predictable.
Explanation:
People watch tragic scenes b/c they feel sympathy for the characters. They understand whatever the person in story is going through must be horrible. Tragedy tells you how to feel about a character by building their story. Also, tragedy makes the stories less predictable and less boring. If there is nothing different to move the story forward and all conflicts end the same way, it would become boring to watch/read.
For example: The fault in our stars is a tragic movie but we love it because of the story and tragedy in it.
<u>Answer</u>:
B: When running for a political office, a candidate must be willing to fight for his positions, to state his beliefs articulately, and look confident while doing so.
This statement has been written correctly.
<u>Explanation</u>:
Punctuation is very important in a writing. The reader can understand the meaning properly and even the writing appears more appealing. Without punctuation, correct meaning might not reach to the reader. He might lose his interest in reading.
Option B has correct punctuation marks, i.e. there is a comma after office and after positions. Also, “to state his beliefs” is grammatically correct. In other options, use of “stating his beliefs” in Option D and “to look confident” in Option C makes both the sentences grammatically wrong. In Option A, use of ‘state his beliefs’ and ‘to look’ are incorrect as well.
