In each of the questions a word has been used in sentences in four different ways. Choose the option corresponding to the sentence in which the usage of the word is incorrect or inappropriate.
[Note: This is a previous year's question and seems to have some ambiguity]
Option B is the correct answer as it is inappropriate. Embarrassment typically doesn't lead to a "glow," as it suggests a more negative or awkward emotion. The usage of glow in this sentence is not appropriate.
Option A: In this sentence, "glow" describes a radiant expression of pride. The word "glow" here is appropriate because it implies a positive, warm, and shining emotion, which fits well with pride.
Option C: This is a correct usage. A bonfire emits a warm light, and the word "glow" is used to describe the light that the fire gives off, illuminating its surroundings
Option D: Sullenness refers to a gloomy, ill-tempered, and resentful state of mind or disposition. Here, it should be a "lack of glow' that would indicate sullenness.
