Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sentence contrasts "worried that their children would become too ____ than that they would have ____ self-esteem" implying that the first blank is an opposite of low self-esteem. Since "selfish" is the only option that is an opposite of low self-esteem, it must be the correct answer for the first blank. The second blank needs to be an opposite of "discouraged self-inflation" which means it must be "encouraged self-inflation." Therefore, the correct choice is B) selfish; low; discouraged.
