Correct answer: D
Answer: abashed
Explanation: 'Abashed' means embarrassed, ashamed, or disconcerted. In both sentences the context describes someone feeling ashamed or embarrassed, so 'abashed' fits both.
The girl was abashed by the laughter of her classmates.
His boss's criticism left him feeling rather abashed.
Why the other choices are incorrect:
resolute — means admirably purposeful and unwavering; it describes firmness, not embarrassment.
determined — means having made a firm decision; it does not convey feeling ashamed.
audacious — means bold or daring; it implies confidence or risk-taking, not embarrassment.
