\we triumph without glory when we conquer without danger.\
--corneille

it is a mistake to think that being vigilant is the same as being timid. timidity saps the enjoyment from life and shrivels the personality. expect things to go well in your life and express yourself joyfully and wisely in all circumstances. there will always be dangers in your life, and they do not need to master your mind or occupy you. discuss some dangers that you are facing or will face, and ways that you will change them into positives. how much does attitude have to do with what events eventually mean to you?

Explanation:

1. The sentence states a condition for the trip; "unless" fits this conditional meaning.
2. The sentence presents two food choices, so "or" is used for alternatives.
3. This connects three people in the same action, so "and" is the linking conjunction.
4. The sentence contrasts two costume choices, so "instead" shows the replacement.
5. The sentence links two groups (students and parents) who both want the program, so "both...and" is correct.
6. The sentence sets up a conditional where permission is required to learn driving; "unless" fits this negative condition.
7. The sentence contrasts wearing a coat with the warm day, so "but" shows the contradiction.
8. The driver raising the volume is a result of the song being popular, so "consequently" shows this cause-effect relationship.

1. unless

3. and
