Question

The election had been two days ago, and after the results were announced, Marina smiled weakly at her opponent and gave him a reluctant civil handshake. Her classmates could tell that she was upset though. Marina was somewhat cold to those in the room who she was sure voted against her. She was a strong-willed girl and did not show sadness about her defeat, but everybody knew that the results killed Marina.

What does the word cold suggest about how Marina acted to her classmates?
A.
She acted very angry.
B.
She acted eager.
C.
She acted unfriendly.
D.

Answer 1

C. She acted unfriendly.
