Let's go through them one by one.\r\n\r\nBreeze: that's a light wind, right? So that's related to weather, not emotions. Probably not the answer.\r\n\r\nFragile: meaning easily broken or damaged. That's more about being weak or delicate. Not related to pride or honor.\r\n\r\nGlory: Hmm, I think glory has to do with something that's impressive or magnificent. Like national glory or glory of a victory. That sounds like it could be the answer. But let me check the others.\r\n\r\nIceberg: that's a large mass of frozen water. Not related to emotions or feelings. So probably not.\r\n\r\nMagic: that's the ability to do things that seem impossible, or something supernatural. Not directly related to pride or honor, but maybe in some contexts? Not sure.\r\n\r\nOutcast: someone who is excluded from a group. That's more about being rejected, not feeling pride.\r\n\r\nRescue: the act of saving someone from danger. That's an action, not a feeling.\r\n\r\nSavage: brutal or wild, not civilized. Maybe related to harshness, not pride.\r\n\r\nSkeptic: someone who doubts things. Not related to feeling pride.\r\n\r\nWonder: a feeling of amazement or admiration. That's a feeling, but more about being amazed rather than pride and honor.\r\n\r\nSo, the options are glory and wonder. The question is about pride and honor. Glory is often associated with achievements that bring honor, like national glory. Wonder is more about amazement.
