- A.
  
  True

Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
This statement is false because being a leader does not necessarily require having followers. A leader can exist without followers if they are leading themselves or leading by example. Leadership is about influencing and guiding others, but it does not solely depend on having a group of followers. A person can exhibit leadership qualities and traits even if they do not have a formal following.

The statement suggests that people who have a college degree earn more money than non-degree holders. However, this statement is false. While having a college degree can increase the likelihood of earning a higher income, it does not guarantee it. Many factors, such as the field of study, work experience, skills, and individual circumstances, can influence an individual's earning potential. Therefore, it is not accurate to say that all college degree holders earn more money than non-degree holders.

The statement suggests that the most significant role model in a young girl's life is her mother. However, this is not always the case as there are various factors that can influence a young girl's life and shape her role models. While the mother may play a significant role, there can be other influential figures such as teachers, siblings, or even fictional characters that can serve as role models for a young girl. Therefore, the correct answer is false.

Yes or No? Leadership is an inborn skill that some people have and others don't.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
The statement suggests that leadership is an inborn skill, implying that some people are naturally born with it while others are not. However, this is not entirely true. While some individuals may possess certain qualities or traits that make them more inclined towards leadership, leadership skills can be developed and honed through learning, experience, and practice. Therefore, leadership is not solely determined by genetics or being "inborn," but rather it is a combination of innate abilities and acquired knowledge and skills.
