The sentence <em>Shelby flittered around the room chatting with old friends and making new ones like she was a butterfly dancing on the expectant winds of spring </em>is B. lightheaded and cheerful.

It is definitely not arrogant - there are only positive feelings in the sentence. C is also incorrect because the word <em>childish </em>has a negative connotation. Option D is incorrect because the sentence isn't really that meaningful.

This leaves us with B - obviously the sentence is cheerful, mentioning butterflies and fluttering wings. It is also not serious, thus lightheaded.
