[單字] feel grounded

[amibow (阿寶)]

If a child reaches adulthood with recollection

only of television, Little League, and birthday parties,

then that child has little to draw on when a true test of

character comes up-say, in a prickly business situation.


"__1__ that child feels grounded in

who he is and where he comes from,

everything else is an act," says etiquette expert Betty Jo Trakimas




請問這裡的grounded是什麼意思?

是stable的意思嗎?

另外,1的空格選項

(A)For  (B)If  (C)When  (D)Unless  答案是D

不能選B嗎?
