Answer 1

Concept: It is the characteristic trait of a person. For example, the way in which a person thinks, feels, or behaves forms the personality of a person.

Answer: The correct answer is option (d): visit to a zoo.

Explanation:

• The factors that determine or have an influence on personality are nature (heredity), and nurture (the way in which a person is brought up).

• Culture and society, family and heredity, and the environment in which a person has been brought up determine the personality of that person.
• The quality of social interactions and the experience of abuse or bullying are some of the examples of the influence of society.
• The quality of intra-familial relationships, the presence or absence of parents, etc., are the ways in which family influences the personality.
• Genetics, hormones, and brain chemistry are some of the heredity determinants.
• The shared values and beliefs of a group of people also shape personality (culture).

Hence the correct option is d.
