Official Explanation
B,
Even with the road sign nonetheless, a contrast is not immediately clear. Consider the tone of the phrase “even her own family,” which suggests an element of surprise at the family’s response. Choice (A) deluded means “misled,” which doesn’t fit the context. Choice (B) chastised means “scolded,” which makes sense, since the robber would expect her family’s support, not scolding. Choices (C) absolved and (D) venerated imply support—rule these out. The last choice, (E) engulfed, doesn’t make sense in context.
