A. Good-humored
B. Self-confident
C. Modest
D. Inquisitive
Explanations:
(A) Good humored is the most positive one, because it's nice to have a good humored person, while on the other hand sarcastic is more of a boring, less positive, connotation word.
(B) Self-confident is the best, because if you use conceited, people are gonna think of it as the person being to over/full of theirself, while self confident shows that you're basically confident of yourself, then people won't think of it to be bad.
(C) Modest is best to use, because mousy describes to be like a little mouse, shy and all that. Kinda baby-ish. But using the word modest makes it less negative, and has a little different meaning.
(D) We wouldn't use nosy, because that's automatically rude, etc.

Answer:
B) "How were gladiators viewed during ancient Roman times?"
Answer:
Blame can put you in jail, take away your rights, deny you an afterlife, or <u>worse </u>- cause you to change your behavior.
Explanation:
The word <em>satire</em> refers to the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to criticize people or their ideas. For example, politicians have always been easy targets of satire.
In the last sentence, the word <em>worse</em><em> </em>stands out. The narrator says that it's worse if blame changes your behavior than if it puts you in jail, takes away your rights, or even denies you an afterlife. Objectively the change of behavior is the least severe of the listed consequences, but the narrator for some reason says otherwise.
