Question: Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: When you meet someone for the first time, you will form an impression in your mind of that person in the first moment.

In the same way, extending tolerance to him would not cause me to suddenly begin chewing my food with my mouth open. When you approach life in this manner, those with whom you have the greatest dissatisfactions as well as those you admire and love...
