Question

1. what does the text suggest about personal standards?

○ they reflect how you treat yourself and expect to be treated by others
○ they are only important in professional settings
○ they cannot be changed once established
○ they are determined solely by external factors

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: Personal standards relate to self - treatment and expectations of how others treat you. This is a common and accurate understanding of personal standards.
• Option 2: Personal standards are not only important in professional settings; they apply to all aspects of life, so this is incorrect.
• Option 3: Personal standards can be changed as a person grows and experiences new things, so this is wrong.
• Option 4: Personal standards are influenced by both internal (like values, beliefs) and external factors, not solely external, so this is incorrect.

Answer:

A. They reflect how you treat yourself and expect to be treated by others
