Explanation
The trigger is that the comments were meant to do one thing but served only to do another and the respective clues are sophistication and not yet mature. The comments failed to project sophistication and so the blank must be a word that means immature. Choices (A), (B), (E), and (D) are all words that describe what Hannah may be like, but none have the meaning of immature that is needed to complete this sentence correctly.
Choices C and D are correct.
