The blank refers to Jeannie’s… behavior. The clue for the blank is shy demeanor. The colon indicates a transition that maintains the meaning of the clues, so use “shy” as a word for the blank. Choices (A), (B), and (C)— unresponsive, supercilious, amenable— can be eliminated because they do not match “shy.” Choice (D), acquiescent, means ready to accept something, which does not match “shy,” so eliminate (D). The correct answer is (E), demure.

Demurr means hesitated, closely applying to the feeling of being 'Shy', hence it applies in this context.
