OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
B, E
In this sentence, context is key; the unnamed "she" here did something bad-trying to blame something on her coworkers-and the outcome was similarly bad, resulting in a "sense of isolation." Whatever words go in the blank, they will indicate that something negative happened to her that made her feel isolated. Ostracized is synonymous with shunned, which fits well in this sentence. (B) and (E) are correct.
