Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is: B. neglected
To neglect something means to ignore it or pay no attention to it. In this case, the man’s seniority had been ignored, which made him sad.
The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the man’s feelings.
- Rejected means to refuse to accept something or someone. In this case, the man’s seniority had not been refused; it had simply been ignored.
- Confused means to be unsure of something or to not understand something. In this case, the man was not confused about his seniority; he knew that he had seniority, but he was sad that it had been ignored.
- Sidestepped means to avoid something or someone. In this case, the man’s seniority had not been avoided; it had simply been ignored.
