b. admit it to yourself
c. think about what youre good at
d. look for the best in the situation

1. be honest
2. be positive
3. examine your thoughts
4. keep things in perspective

Explanation:

1. "be honest" matches with "admit it to yourself" (option b) as admitting to oneself requires honesty.
2. "be positive" can be related to "look for the best in the situation" (option d) as looking for the best is a positive approach. Also, "don't let your thoughts crowd out hope and belief in yourself" (option a) and "think about what you're good at" (option c) also have positive connotations, but "look for the best in the situation" is a direct positive action.
3. "examine your thoughts" corresponds to "don't let your thoughts crowd out hope and belief in yourself" (option a) as it involves being aware of and managing one's thoughts.
4. "keep things in perspective" is related to "think about what you're good at" (option c) as thinking about one's strengths helps in keeping a balanced perspective, and also "look for the best in the situation" (option d) to some extent, but "think about what you're good at" helps in maintaining perspective about one's capabilities.

Answer:

1. b. admit it to yourself
2. d. look for the best in the situation (or a. don't let your thoughts crowd out hope and belief in yourself, c. think about what you're good at - but d is more direct for positivity)
3. a. don't let your thoughts crowd out hope and belief in yourself
4. c. think about what you're good at (or d. look for the best in the situation - but c helps in perspective about self)

(Note: For a more precise match, typically:
1 - b (honesty in admitting), 2 - d (positive outlook in situation), 3 - a (examining thoughts to keep hope), 4 - c (perspective via self - strengths))
