Answer Details

In this sentence, Awa is being asked to wait outside by a solicitor. This could be seen as an action that is disrespectful to her. The question is asking which of the options best describes this feeling. A. "A drawback" refers to a disadvantage or negative aspect of something. This option does not fit the context of the sentence. B. "An affront" means an insult or offense to one's dignity. This option fits the context of the sentence, as Awa is being asked to wait outside, which could be seen as an insult to her. C. "A strain" means stress or pressure caused by a difficult situation. This option does not fit the context of the sentence. D. "A withdrawal" means the act of pulling back or retreating. This option does not fit the context of the sentence. Therefore, the word that best completes the sentence is "an affront" (option B).
