Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Answer: shameless
Key idea: "Unabashed" means not feeling embarrassed or ashamed; it describes something shown openly without restraint.
Why "shameless" fits: "Shameless" means not feeling shame or embarrassment, which matches the sense of an openly displayed wealth at the wedding.
Why "candid" is incorrect: "Candid" means frank or honest; it refers to openness about truth, not the absence of embarrassment.
Why "impressive" is incorrect: "Impressive" means causing admiration. It describes how others react, not whether the display is made without shame.
Why "accurate" is incorrect: "Accurate" means correct or precise and is unrelated to showing off or feelings of shame.
