OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
The correct answer is B.
Knowing the meaning of the word "ebullient," which is a clue to the answer, would have helped you, but if you don't know that it means "cheerful, happy, jovial," you can still figure out the answer from the context. Holding a global call with financial analysts indicates that the earnings must have been very good. Choice B, "boasted about," has this element of intensity more so than choices A and C , "announced" and "declared," which do mean "made known publicly." Choice D, "stated," also lacks any emotional intensity. Choice E, "took satisfaction in," might work, but "boasted" fits the mood and is a better match with "ebullient."
