(i) "practiced restraint" fits because teenagers are not generally associated with self-discipline or control.
(ii) "asceticism" refers to severe self-discipline and abstention from indulgence, which describes Jean's extreme level of self-control.
(iii) "permissive" means lenient or indulgent, which contrasts with the conservative upbringing mentioned earlier and suggests Jean's discipline may be a reaction against a very lenient upbringing.

One Does Not (Contrasting word) Teenagers - _________ (All three options looked good, so cant choose yet- lets move ahead)

Self Discipline that (Support) verges on ________ (Verges means to push it to the extreme, so I thought of austerity choice F makes sense)
