 What's the difference between believe and trust？

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

To believe something is to take it for fact; to trust something (or someone) is to believe it in a situation in which others might find it dubious or disputable. One also often trusts people to do something--"I trust my spouse to be faithful to me", or "I trust Pelosi to get the American Families Plan through the House".

8. C trust. While believe could be used in that sense, it would also be followed by the preposition "in". So he could begin "to trust himself" or begin "to believe in himself".

It's C) Trust for the reasons mentioned.

The nouns are also worth mentioning. So belief means to accept it as true, but you wouldn't really use it in a circumstance where you would use 'believe', but it is common to use trust as a noun and say 'I place my trust' in something, or 'to break my trust', which means that someone has done something which means you no longer trust them. The opposites are disbelief and distrust.

By the way, that looks a good textbook.

Let me use an example.  I always believe in God- in His existence.  Sometimes, I fail to trust His plan for me and try to do things of my own strength.
