Okay, for #2, you said my answer was correct (self-possession). My mom is saying that the answer is "pompousness". I don't know which one is the correct answer, mine or hers. Please help!

I bow to your mom. She's right that pompousness means the assurance but is much more negative than the other two synonyms.

I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking when I answered you the first time.
Okay thanks I chose pompousness I will let you know whether it is correct or not :-)
Thanks.
The correct answer was pompousness
:-) Your Mom gets an A.
