Correct Answer: confide


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

It means to trust someone with personal thoughts, secrets, or feelings by sharing them in a confidential manner. It is the most appropriate word, as it means they trust their mother with their personal thoughts or feelings.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Confident: It describes a person who has self-assurance, belief in his abilities, and a sense of self-reliance.
  • Confidential: It refers to something that is meant to be kept secret or private and is often used to describe information that should not be disclosed to others
  • Confidence: It signifies a state of being self-assured or having trust in oneself, one's abilities, or the actions of others.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "Girls generally confide in their mother."
