Open in App
Solution
The correct option is A opinion.
The correct answer is option C. Replacing “sentiment” with “opinion” in context makes sense because Cecil is raging against the sense that outsiders feel the right to have strong opinions about his personal matters. “Nostalgia” refers to a fond remembrance of the past; it does not make sense in context because the sentiment the outsiders are expressing is about something happening in the present day—Cecil and Lucy’s engagement. Thus, option A is incorrect. Option B is incorrect because “emotion” typically refers to an internal experience, but Cecil is clearly upset about a public expression. “Tenderness” refers to gentleness or kindness, and although the outsiders may think of themselves as displaying it, it is unlikely that Cecil perceives them as displaying that quality while he is frustrated with them; thus, option D is incorrect.
