When someone experiences chagrin, they are likely to feel

• A. Pride.
• B. Suspense.
• C. A feeling of being very annoyed, disappointed, or embarrassed because of failure, disappointment, or humiliation.
• D. Confusion.

Answer: (C)

Chagrin describes a negative emotional reaction that combines irritation, disappointment, and often embarrassment after something doesn’t go as planned or a humiliation occurs. The statement that fits this sense captures that mix of annoyance, disappointment, and embarrassment tied to a setback or failure. It’s not pride, which is positive, nor suspense, which is about waiting or anticipation, nor confusion, which is about not understanding. So the description of being very annoyed, disappointed, or embarrassed because of failure or humiliation best matches what chagrin feels like.
