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

Although Rolf is usually quite -------, he was so ------- by the salesman’s rude remarks that he insisted on complaining to the manager.

(A) tractable . . reassured
(B) timorous . . angered
(C) plucky . . offended
(D) valiant . . incensed
(E) diffident . . satisfied

答案:B

解析:

Explanation

Choice B is correct. The term “Although” in the first clause suggests that Rolf’s response to the “salesman’s rude remarks” differed from his usual behavior. If Rolf is usually “timorous,” or timid, complaining to the salesman’s manager would be an uncharacteristic response.
