请教一道填空题！

纵岛小姐UID: 3151932

是绿皮填空e9- 8!While not completely nonplussed by the unusually caustic responses from members of the audience, the speaker was nonetheless visibly_______ by their lively criticism.
a humiliated
b discomfited
c deluded
d disgraced
e embarrassed
f tantalized

新东方给的答案是be，可是我觉得abde都是一个意思啊？？？
求翻译！求解答！！
谢谢！

首先连接词是while，说明其可能有转折，但是这是一个程度转换的题目。前面提到的是not completely nonplussed by ，那么说明后面还是部分被nonplussed的。
直接填入nonplussed，然后找近义词。acdf的程度均甚于nonplus。
可以查查MW。

5# 纵岛小姐 MW是大韦氏，这题要选比nonplus程度轻的，不那么“太囧”的，就是“尴尬”了。
