پاسخ صحیح: گزینهٔ B — feelings
پاسخ تشریحی
Option 2: feelings. The expression hurt someone's feelings means to upset or offend that person emotionally. “I’ve heard it all, and I’m still here” says that the speaker has already endured criticism and is now difficult to upset. The completed phrase is “hurt my feelings.”
| Option | Meaning | Why it fails |
|---|---|---|
| 1. characterization | A description or portrayal of a person's character, especially in a story | The speaker is describing emotional resilience, not damage to a portrayal. “Hurt my characterization” is not the expected expression. |
| 3. sentimentality | Excessive tenderness, nostalgia, or emotional indulgence | This names an emotional tendency, rather than the emotions that criticism injures; it does not form the standard expression “hurt my feelings.” |
| 4. pain | Physical or emotional suffering | “Hurt my pain” is unnatural: hurt causes pain; pain is not the thing being offended. |
Check: Inserting “feelings” makes both the idiom and the explanation about having heard everything coherent.
Exam trick: Recognize the whole expression “hurt someone's feelings”; a related emotional word is not automatically a substitute.
