Answer

Brief Explanations:

  1. Jake gives his hooded sweatshirt to Cassie when she is less appropriately dressed for the cold weather. This shows he cares about her well - being more than his own immediate comfort.
  2. Craig arrives an hour earlier than required for training. This shows his extra effort and dedication to his football training.
  3. Kylie is very particular about how the mirrors are washed (wanting newspapers instead of paper towels) and how Anna sweeps (correcting her technique). This shows she has high standards for cleanliness.
  4. Corey has an extreme emotional reaction (uncontrollable crying and running out of the room) when she sees Beth using a pencil that might be hers. This shows she is overly sensitive.
  5. Kelvin finds a wallet, identifies the owner from the ID, and goes to return it. This shows he is honest and does the right thing by returning lost property.

Answer:

  1. Kindness/caring.
  2. Diligence/committed.
  3. Perfectionist/particular.
  4. Overly sensitive/emotional.
  5. Honesty/responsible.
