选项 A、dangerous
B、awkward
C、guilty
D、anxious

答案D

解析 语义衔接题。文章开篇首句提到:Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people.(害羞是许多人不快乐的原因)。从下文中可以看出,这里是在谈论这些人不快乐的表现。anxious意为"忧虑的,不安的",放回句中表达"害羞的人忧虑不安,过分注重自己的仪表或行为",这里的anxious与 shyness、unhappiness和shy people属于同一语境。dangerous意为"危险的",与害羞、不开心没有关联;awkward意为"尴尬的,笨拙的",后面应跟表示物的名词;guilty意为"内疚的",本题所在句子上下文没有涉及害羞的人做错事的内容,因此用guilty没有根据。
