Definition

to be a team player: to be good at working in a team or group of people idiom
Exercise 1
Trey writes about "an excellent opportunity for a man to prove himself".

This could be rewritten as: "an excellent opportunity for a man to ".
Trey writes about "an excellent opportunity for a man to prove himself".

This could be rewritten as: "an excellent opportunity for a man to demonstrate his ability".
demonstrate his ability: This is the correct choice. "To prove yourself" means to show others how capable you are of doing something. Here's another example: "Jason proved himself when he came in to work on Christmas Day".
balance his work: This is incorrect. "To balance your work" mean to find an equilibrium, to be able to prioritize your workload or share your work time equally between various tasks. It doesn't share a similar meaning with "to prove yourself".
get a promotion: A promotion in a professional context is to move up to a position with more responsibility, more authority and probably more money! You could get a promotion through proving yourself, but they are not synonymous.
show he is a team player: This is not the correct answer. To "show you are a team player" means to demonstrate you work well with others as part of a team. This does not share the same meaning as "to prove yourself".
