Giải thích hộ mình tại sao lại chọn đáp án đấy lun vs ạ Donald Trump is an American media personality, real estate developer, and businessman with a net worth estimated at $3 billion to $10 billion, depending on who’s making the calculations. The most recent list of global billionaires, released by Forbes in September 2018, puts Trump in the 766th position with a net worth of $3.1 billion. That makes him America’s first billionaire president. Trump began his career at his father's company, then called Elizabeth Trump & Son. He worked there while attending the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and joined the business full-time after he graduated in 1968. With a flair for publicity and a series of high-profile construction and renovation projects in New York City, Trump's career unfurled very much in the public eye. Donald John Trump was born on June 14,1946, in the New York City borough of Queens, the youngest of five children. His mother, Mary Anne, was born on the Isle of Lewis, off the west coast of Scotland, later immigrating to the United States. His father, Fred Trump, was the son of a Klondike Gold Rush restaurateur and home builder. At the time of Donald's birth, his father was developing housing complexes in New York City, especially Brooklyn, catering to middle-income soldiers returning from World War II and their families. By the time Donald was born, Fred Trump had been a successful New York real estate developer for almost 20 years. But it was Donald's mother who instilled in him something that would distinguish him from equally successful real estate moguls - an appreciation for the power of spectacle. As a six-year-old, he watched as his mother was swept away by the pageantry of the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. It made a big impression on the boy. “I realize now that I got some of my sense of showmanship from my mother,” he writes. "She always had a flair for the dramatic and the grand." His parents raised their large family in a two-story mock-Tudor home in Jamaica Estates, Queens. As a child, Donald went to Kew-Forest School in Forest Hills, Queens. Fred was on the Board of Trustees of the private school. At an early age, Donald began getting into trouble. "In the second grade I actually gave a teacher a black eye -1 punched my music teacher because I didn't think he knew anything about music, and I almost got expelled," Trump would later recall. Worried about his son’s apparent lack of discipline, Fred moved Donald to the New York Military Academy in upstate Cornwall, New York, to begin the eighth grade. Donald would remain there throughout high school. He graduated with the rank of cadet captain, and later credited the school as the place where he learned to channel "aggression into achievement.” (Adaptedfrom https://www.investopedia.com) Question 1: Which of the following could be served as the best title of the passage?
