- A.
  
  True
- B.

Explanation
When a person displays a cynical attitude, it often means that they have a negative and distrustful outlook on life. This behavior can be off-putting to others and may lead them to believe that the person is unhappy. Cynicism tends to involve skepticism and criticism, which can create a negative atmosphere and make others perceive the person as unhappy. Therefore, it is reasonable to say that when someone displays a cynical attitude, it often causes others to think or suspect that they are unhappy.

- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
Witnessing a fatality is a traumatic event that typically elicits feelings of shock, sadness, grief, and sometimes even guilt or anger. It is highly unlikely for someone to feel hope, clarity, elation, or joy after witnessing a fatality. These emotions are more commonly associated with positive events or outcomes, rather than a tragic incident like a fatality. Therefore, the statement is false.
