Chagrin may be accompanied by

• A. A sense of warm pride.
• B. Irritation or embarrassment.
• C. A sudden rush of hunger.
• D. A physical injury.

Answer: (B)

Chagrin is a feeling of distress or embarrassment that follows a disappointing or embarrassing situation, often with a touch of irritation toward oneself. That’s why the chosen answer—describing irritation or embarrassment—fits best. It captures the typical emotional mix you’d expect: you feel self-conscious and annoyed by what happened. The other options don’t describe this emotional state: warmth of pride isn’t right, hunger is unrelated, and a physical injury is a bodily harm, not an emotional reaction. For example, spilling a drink at a formal event might leave you feeling chagrined—embarrassed by the mishap and perhaps irritated at yourself.
