SAT English Practice Question

It is often said that the most important thing in life is to "be yourself." This advice is well-intentioned, but it can also be harmful. If one always tries to "be themselves" without regard for the context or the needs of others, they may come across as selfish or insensitive. It is important to recognize that being yourself in a healthy way means striking a balance between your own needs and the needs of those around you. The key is to be true to yourself while also being considerate and respectful of others. If, for example, you are an introvert who enjoys spending time alone, you don’t need to force yourself to attend every party or social gathering. However, it is also important to be mindful of your friends and family members who may enjoy these events and who may be disappointed if you are always unavailable. What, therefore, is the primary message of this passage?

1. A.being yourself is the most important thing in life.
2. B.it is important to be considerate of others.
3. C.introverts should avoid social gatherings.
4. D.being true to yourself is essential for a healthy life.
