PART B: Which quote from the text best supports the answer to Part A? A “but an increasing body of empirical evidence shows that resilience — whether in children, survivors of concentration camps, or businesses back from the brink — can be learned.” (Paragraph 11) B “A common belief about resilience is that it stems from an optimistic nature. That’s true but only as long as such optimism doesn’t distort your sense of reality.” (Paragraph 13) C “Then Stockdale turned to me and said, ‘You know, I think they all died of broken hearts.’” (Paragraph 14) D “In the concentration camps, for example, resilient inmates knew to pocket pieces of string or wire whenever they found them. The string or wire might later become useful” (Paragraph 33)

Hello!

The best text that gives the best support to part A is D, since it extends an example that allows a better undertanding of the citation A and holds it.

In quote D we can see an example of how people who go through particular situations to overcome the diversity of them. Learning resilience involves carrying out a process on the part of the person, this process requires times and effort, and finally makes people to make decisions.

In the example of people in a concentration camp, we can see how to go through these circumstances has led them to adapt to this situation of oppression and carry out actions that would allow them to create possible solutions in the future, for their survival, defense. ,etc.

I hope this helps!

Greetings.
