A Correct answer
Explanation

Forlorn means sad, lonely, abandoned, or pitiful. "Bereft" means deprived of something or left alone, which closely matches the abandoned/sad quality of forlorn. The other options (cheerful, hopeful, sanguine) are all antonyms - they describe positive, optimistic emotional states.
