Choose the word or set of words that, when inserted in the sentence, best fits the meaning of the sentence as a whole.

Dahntay’s ______ over winning the prestigious prize was ______ only by the fact that his father was unable to attend the ceremony.

A. incredulity . . misconstrued

B. ebullience . . tempered

C. bashfulness . . extended

D. satisfaction . . confirmed

E. relief . . conveyed

正确答案:B

解析:

This sentence contrasts something positive (winning a “prestigious prize”) with something negative (the father’s absence), so it makes sense that the missing terms reflect Dahntay’s conflicted emotions. His joy, or “ebullience,” might certainly be curbed, or “tempered,” by the fact that his father could not be present for the special occasion.
