Question

The modest acceptance speech of the Academy Award-winning actress revealed a ------- that contrasted with her uninhibited screen performances.

• A. Theatricality
• B. Sullenness
• C. Flamboyance
• D. Reserve
• E. Nonchalance

Answer 1

The correct option is D Reserve

The correct answer is D as to answer this question in the sentence the word modest, contrasted, and uninhibited are directly related.

The word modest is contrasted to the word uninhibited so the only answer choice is related to reserve

Theatrically is not very much modest and sullenness also nonchalance is not related to word modest

So if we see someone who is reserved is the opposite of who is uninhibited.

Hence D is the correct option.
