Explanation:

To determine the correct definition of optimism, we analyze each option:

• "Taking things that are bad and turning them into something good" describes resilience or problem - solving, not optimism.
• "The belief that the outcome of an activity will be positive" aligns with the definition of optimism, which is a positive expectation about future events or outcomes.
• "The expectation that you'll get what you want" is more about self - centered desire rather than a general positive outlook on outcomes.
• "Telling someone that the glass isn't half full, it's half empty" represents a pessimistic perspective.

B. The belief that the outcome of an activity will be positive
