سوال ۱ کنکور ارشد مهندسی مکانیک ۱۴۰۳

Option 2: feelings. The expression hurt someone's feelings means to upset or offend someone emotionally. “I’ve heard it all, and I’m still here” indicates that the speaker has endured criticism and is now difficult to upset.

• 1) characterization means a description or portrayal of someone's character, especially in a story. It does not name the emotions that criticism can hurt.
• 3) sentimentality means excessive tenderness or emotional indulgence. It is a tendency or quality, rather than the emotions denoted by the expression “hurt my feelings.”
• 4) pain means physical or emotional suffering. “Hurt my pain” is not the intended expression: pain is the suffering itself, rather than something that is offended.

The completed sentence is “it’s pretty hard to hurt my feelings.”

Exam trick: Learn hurt someone's feelings as a complete expression; a word related to emotion is not automatically a substitute for feelings.
