Directions: In the following sentence a word is in brackets. Choose the word nearest in meaning to the bracketed word from the four words listed below.

I was (discomfited) to find the boss in the disco.

Discomfited means made uncomfortable or embarrassed, often in a social context. Finding one's boss in an unexpected place (a disco) would naturally cause embarrassment. 'Embarrassed' is the best fit - 'irritated' suggests anger, 'uncomfortable' is too mild, and 'displeased' implies dissatisfaction rather than social awkwardness.
