Which of the following synonyms of assurance has a negative connotation? (1 point)

self-possession
pompousness
confidence

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.
