The correct answer is: B. moved.
To be moved is to be emotionally affected by something, especially in a way that makes you feel sympathetic or compassionate. In this case, the speaker is saying that they were emotionally affected by the beggar’s honesty. This suggests that they felt a sense of sympathy or compassion for the beggar, and that they were impressed by the beggar’s willingness to tell the truth even when it was difficult.
The other options are not as accurate descriptions of the speaker’s feelings. Option A, impressed, suggests that the speaker was simply impressed by the beggar’s honesty. However, the speaker’s use of the word “moved” suggests that they felt something deeper than just admiration. Option C, surprised, suggests that the speaker was caught off guard by the beggar’s honesty. However, the speaker’s use of
the word “moved” suggests that they were not surprised, but rather that they were emotionally affected by the beggar’s honesty. Option D, horrified, suggests that the speaker was disgusted or repulsed by the beggar’s honesty. However, the speaker’s use of the word “moved” suggests that they were not disgusted or repulsed, but rather that they were sympathetic and compassionate.
