Solution

The correct option is A he did not take any notice of her
According to the last sentence, she felt ashamed because she realized she never thanked him for the help he gave to her father. So, C is incorrect.
The second sentence tells us that he did not notice that she was looking at him. This made her lose the unpleasant feeling and glance at him. Hence, A is the correct answer.
B and D are inconsistent with the contents of the passage. We reject them.
