Official Answers : A and F
The keyword "embarrassed" indicates that the words chosen must reflect a negative attitude by the child. Thus, righteous and judicious, which theoretically could be used as partners to form equivalent sentences, are not appropriate. Voluminous ("of large extent or ample size") does not fit this context. Of the remaining three choices, flippant and irreverent (both indicating a lack of respect or seriousness) would form equivalent sentences, while disingenuous ("insincere") would work well in the sentence but doesn't have a match.
The correct answers are (A) and (F).
