We are rational ____ always able to ask for justification, and this is a trait that has served us well in many contexts.

The ____ is that upon receiving a perfectly good answer we can always sensibly respond "Okay, but what justifies that?" —and we can potentially do so endlessly, never coming to a decision, forever hesitant and doubting, undone by our own rational capacity.

Scholars have demonstrated that the gestures hearing people produce while they are speaking are systematically made at the same time with speech such that language and gesture must be considered ____

This tightly integrated pairing of language ____ gesture enables speakers to conceptualize and formulate their thoughts in terms of both the "categorical" requirements of language, and the "imagistic" possibilities of gesture.

For example, in describing an event, one must decide ____ the event has been completed or is ongoing if the language being spoken at that moment has a verbal affix for each meaning and one or the other must be chosen.

This kind of choice is ____ of language as a semiotic system.

According to McNeil and Duncan, gesture is different from language in that ____ does not present the speaker with such choices.

In this view, speech and gesture are ____ redundant nor is one a "translation" of the other.

Building on this foundation, more recent research looks deeply into additional factors influencing well-being in later adulthood, particularly emphasising the role of self-worthiness, and the overall positive impact ____ developing a well-rounded self-view in life course transitions.

Together, these studies suggest that both goal alignment and a positive self-perception are crucial for enhancing motivation and ____ well-being in later life.

A mirror offers us a version of reality, but it does so from a viewpoint which ____ be captured in the mirror itself.

And because this viewpoint is invisible to us, ____ might be tempted to take it as beyond question.
