What is not a characteristic of acceptance?

  1. Allowing oneself to be controlled by others

  2. Letting go of stress and anxiety

  3. Recognizing one's limited control

  4. Not passing judgment on circumstances

The correct answer is: Allowing oneself to be controlled by others

Acceptance is the ability to recognize and acknowledge circumstances as they are, without trying to change them. Option A is incorrect because it describes the opposite of acceptance, which is allowing oneself to be controlled by others. Options B, C, and D all describe characteristics of acceptance, such as releasing negative emotions, recognizing limited control, and being non-judgmental.
