Question

Choose the word or phrase that best matches the word in bold. He shook with anger, his face scowling and flushed.

a. sickly
b. white
c. haggard
d. red

Answer 1

The correct answer for flushed should be D. Red

Flushed pretty much means that, red and hot, like when someone has a fever.

Answer 2

The correct answer is D. red.

The word flushed refers to someone who is red in the face, due to anger, heat, or embarrassment. If someone looks sickly, then they are pale and white, which is why A and B are incorrect answers here. C is also incorrect because haggard means tired or exhausted.
