read the passage
We plan makers are accustomed to things turning out not-quite-as-good-as-we-had-in-mind. Our world view includes the “diminished excellence” component. Diminished excellence is a condition of the world and therefore never an occasion for sorrow, whereas flawed competence comes out of character and therefore is frequently the reason for the bowed head, the furrowed brow.
A comparison is made between "diminished excellence" and "flawed competence." From the narrator's point of view, the conditions are different because the one is:
F. a source of sorrow while the other is a source of pride.
G. based in the family while the other is based in the self.
H. inherent in the environment while the other is inherent in the individual.
J. a sign that the individual can improve the world while the other is a sign that the individual can't.
H. inherent in the environment while the other is inherent in the individual.
