retry☑️

Explanation:

To determine phrases with an assertive tone (confident, firm), analyze each:

• "I shall hide nothing from you": Uses "shall" (firm commitment, no evasion) → assertive.
• "and not in the dark": More about clarity, not assertive.
• "will not part with it": Uses "will not" (firm refusal, assertive stance).
• "free and happy": Describes a state, not assertive.
• "I feel sorry": Expresses regret, not assertive.

So the correct two are "I shall hide nothing from you" and "will not part with it". The original selection included "free and happy" (incorrect) and missed "will not part with it".

Answer:

• "I shall hide nothing from you"
• "will not part with it"
