• B. arrogant
• C. sycophantic
• D. hybrid

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Option C Is the correct answe because “a sycophant “ is a person who flatters or praises someone important in order to gain advantage, which means that trying to be impressive in a way that it can sometimes be repulsive , hence it is correct.

Option A is incorrect because “refulgent” means shining very brightly, hence it is incorrect.

Option B is incorrect because “arrogant” means to talk in a mean and mannerless way, which is incorrect because then it would result in straight rejection and not a repulsion.

Option D is incorrect because “hybrid” means a mixture of types, which is not correct here because being a hybrid character cannot be repulsive unless it is arrogant.
