What is necessary for adapting according to traits of positive ego strength?

  1. Persistence and perseverance

  2. Lack of self-discipline

  3. Blaming others

  4. Avoiding responsibility

The correct answer is: Persistence and perseverance

Ego strength refers to an individual's ability to cope with stress, maintain a sense of self, and make rational decisions. In order to adapt according to traits of positive ego strength, an individual must possess qualities such as persistence and perseverance. These traits allow a person to actively work towards overcoming challenges and maintaining a strong sense of self. The other options, lack of self-discipline, blaming others, and avoiding responsibility, are not conducive to positive ego strength. They may lead to problems in coping with stress, maintaining a strong sense of self, and making rational decisions.
