Karine: the use of "diffident" is good, but you have used "malcontent" as an adjective instead of a noun. In English, it has to be a noun.
Sheila, diffident a malcontent by nature kept quiet in the meeting.
Veronica: I disagree that malcontent has to be a noun. Could you please explain.
Irena: I'm having difficulty with your sentence--can you try again please?
Adam: You are right, I over-generalized. Malcontent is usually a noun in English; the adjective use would be unusual. For the purpose of this exercise, you are asked to use it as a noun.
