Answer
Correct Answer: is seldom trusted by others.
Explanation
Given data
- Premise: Behaviour is "so unpredictable".
- We need a consequence introduced by "that".
Concept/ApproachUnpredictability undermines reliability. A common social consequence is reduced trust from others.
Option analysisis seldom trusted by others — fits the natural consequence of unpredictability. ✅(a) Possible, but it focuses on promise-keeping rather than how others react.(c) "Always insists … on time" contradicts unpredictability.(d) Independence is unrelated to predictability.
Common pitfalls
- Confusing internal traits (e.g., diligence) with the external perception of trust.
Final Answeris seldom trusted by others.
