Question

Whether you are starting or continuing on the academic road to success, there are a series of markers that will help keep you on the path. First, you must believe. Believe in yourself, believe in others, and believe in the process of life. You are here for a purpose. Second, keep an open mind. Be aware of things that are working and things that are not. Be willing to make changes. Third, know when you need help and be willing to ask for it. There are many people who can assist you; be specific when you ask for help. Fourth, use your resources: people, books, nature, experience, events, travel--that which is seen and that which is unseen. Fifth, remember who you are and why you are here. Remind yourself what it is that you want to accomplish. Sixth, balance your life. There is a weariness that occurs when life's energies are out of harmony. Body, mind, and spirit need nurturing on a daily basis. Lastly, remember that storms never last.

Which word best describes the author's attitude toward continuing on the "academic road to success"?

Answer 1

he correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although you forgot to include the options for this question, we can answer the following.

The word that best describes the author's attitude toward continuing on the "academic road to success" is "Neutral."

It is neutral because the author is just given recommendations on how to approach the road of academic success and life. The author is not being subjective nor adding personal comments that could bias its idea.

For instance, the author is not using optimistic ideas that try to motivate. On the other hand, the author is not adding pessimistic comments that could also bias its information.

That is why "neutral" is the best term to describe the attitude of the author.
