Right, this is soft-hearted, right? The Brazilians, yeah. Okay, try to recall their translation: arrogant, selfish, hot tempered. The next line: cheerful, well built, tall, and handsome. Where is the odd word? Right, this is cheerfulness. Is okay, so, uh, remind me that translation.

Speaker A

Well built, stop me, tall was okay, handsome. The next line: prudent, generous, impudent, and witty. Where is the odd word? Slower. Okay, right, it's impudent. Impudent, uh, because this is a negative trait. Impudent is probably the better cluster.
