Question 12: She made a very ___ decision to change careers at 40, showing she was not afraid to take risks.

Question 12 options
Brave is the correct adjective form needed here to describe the person's quality. Bravely is an adverb, bravery is a noun, and bravest is a superlative adjective but does not fit the sentence structure 'a very ___ decision'.
Q13 15

Question 13: The adjective 'confident' can be used to describe someone's style when they wear clothes that others might consider unusual or daring.
