Verification of truth: Which quality must necessarily be present for an act to be called “bravery”? Choose the one indispensable attribute.

Introduction / Context:
“Verification of truth” questions test whether you can identify a necessary (indispensable) attribute of a concept rather than a helpful, common, or optional one. For “bravery,” we must isolate the single quality without which an act cannot be termed brave.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• The concept under test: bravery (acting despite risk or fear).
• Options include traits that may correlate with brave acts but might not be strictly necessary.
• We must pick the attribute that bravery logically presupposes.

Concept / Approach:
Bravery is classically defined as willingness to confront fear, pain, danger, uncertainty, or intimidation. The indispensable core is acting with courage in the presence of risk. Other traits can support success but are not logically required for the label “brave.”

Step-by-Step Solution:

Verification / Alternative check:
Consider counterexamples: children, elderly, or untrained people may act bravely without notable power or experience; likewise, intelligence is not a prerequisite for the act to qualify as brave. But the absence of courage negates bravery by definition.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:

• Intelligence: useful but not required.
• Power: many brave acts occur without physical or social power.
• Experience: novices can still be brave.
• None of these: incorrect because courage is necessary.

Common Pitfalls:
Confusing “often associated” with “logically necessary.”

Final Answer:
Courage
