Discretion denotes which two qualities?

Discretion denotes which two qualities?

• A. Mind and body strength
• B. True courage and common sense
• C. Reserved power and restraint
• D. Undo courage and foolishness

Answer: (B)

Discretion is about using sound judgment and restraint in what you say and what you do. It means having the courage to act when it’s the right thing, but pairing that bravery with common sense to avoid reckless or careless choices. That balance—courage paired with prudent, sensible thinking—best captures what discretion is. The other options miss that balance: physical mind and body strength isn’t about wise judgment; reserved power and restraint hints at holding back power but uses a term (reserved power) that isn’t the usual description of discretion; undo courage and foolishness is the opposite of discretion, which aims to avoid foolish, unwise actions.
