ashamed: To feel "embarrassed" is to feel uncomfortable or uneasy. "Embarrassed" shares a similar meaning with "ashamed" in this context: both terms refer to a feeling of unease or discomfort. To be ashamed (of something) is a stronger expression and usually indicates that someone regrets an action and even feels guilty about it. Example: He was ashamed of his behavior at the party.
disgraced: To be "disgraced" is to lose one's honor, respect, or reputation. Example: The politician was disgraced by the scandal and was forced to retire. Though the terms can be used in similar contexts, "disgraced" is not synonymous with "embarrassed".
sad: To be "sad" is to be unhappy. "Sad" does not share a similar meaning with "embarrassed" in this or any other context.
angry: To be "angry" is to be upset or mad. "Angry" does not share a similar meaning with "embarrassed" in this or any other context.

1 embarrassment: This is the best choice. To feel "embarrassed" is to feel uncomfortable, uneasy or self-conscious. Bruno tells Horatio that this is one of the emotions he felt after watching Horatio's behavior at the award ceremony. It is normal to feel embarrassed when forgetting to wear pants in public.
1 hurt: To feel "hurt" is to feel pain, emotionally or physically. The term isn't the best emotion to describe Bob's feeling in this example.
1 anger: To feel "anger" is to feel displeasure or hostility. The adjective "angry" is often synonymous with the term "mad". The term isn't the best emotion to describe Bob's feeling in this example.
2 disappointment: This is the best choice. When a hope or expectation is not realized, "disappointment" is the feeling that results! Example: After losing the election by just 1 vote, the candidate's disappointment was evident. Bruno tells Horatio that he felt "disappointed" after watching his performance at the Smelly awards.
2 shame: Although "shame" and "embarrassment" are related, "shame" expresses a much stronger, deeper sense of embarrassment, and generally guilt as well. For example, if you are very late for a meeting, you might be embarrassed. If you cheated on your wife or husband and regret it, you might feel shame.
2 rage: "Rage" describes intense anger. Although it's possible for Susie to feel "rage" after losing a debate, it is a very strong emotion to use in this context.
3 hurt: This is the best choice here. To feel "hurt" is to feel pain, emotionally or physically. After being insulted, it is normal for someone to feel "hurt". Note that "hurt" can be a noun, verb and adjective, and in the active sense, to "hurt" someone is to cause them pain.
3 rage: "Rage" describes intense anger. Although it's possible for Icarus to feel "rage" after he has been insulted, it is a very strong emotion to use in this context, especially considering that Icarus cried afterwards!
3 indignation: "Indignation" describes anger, usually due to a feeling that something is unfair or unjust. For example, 'The athlete who used steroids won the gold medal, and the silver medalist felt indignant.
4 Shame: This is the best choice here. Although "shame" and "embarrassment" are related, "shame" expresses a much stronger, deeper sense of embarrassment, and generally guilt as well. For example, if you are very late for a meeting, you might be embarrassed. If you cheated on your wife or husband and regret it, you might feel shame.
4 Embarrassment: Embarrassment is actually a weaker, less intense emotion then shame!
5 embarrassment: This is the best choice here. To feel "embarrassed" is to feel uncomfortable, uneasy or self-conscious. "Embarrassment" is a less intense emotion than most of the other emotions listed here (shame, rage, etc.).
5 shame: This is not the best choice. "Shame" is actually a much stronger emotion than "embarrassment".
6 Rage: This is the best choice here. "Rage" describes feelings of intense anger or hostility. This emotion is more intense than "anger".
6 Anger: Although both "rage" and "anger" describe feelings of hostility, "anger" is less intense than "rage".
7 anger: This is the best choice here. Although both "rage" and "anger" describe feelings of hostility, "anger" is less intense than "rage".
7 rage: "Rage" is a stronger feeling than "anger", not the other way around.

This means that dinner parties can be for .
Dinner parties "can be a minefield for the newcomer to the USA".
This means that dinner parties can be difficult 1 for recent immigrants to the USA 2.
This means that dinner parties can be difficult 1 for recent immigrants to the USA 2.
1 difficult: "Difficult" is the closest term to describe "a minefield" in this context. Literally, a "minefield" is an area of land which contains explosives or bombs. You have to watch your feet in these areas! When used as a metaphor, a "minefield" is a hazardous or dangerous situation, which is difficult to negotiate. Example: "Going to my ex's wedding was a minefield".
1 embarrassing: If something is "embarrassing", it "humiliates" us in front of other people. Example: "It was very embarrassing when Icarus's mother visited the office". This does not share a similar meaning with "a minefield".
1 useful: If something is "useful", it "helps us" or "serves a good purpose". Example: "This guide to life in the USA is very useful for me". This does not share a similar meaning with "a minefield".
1 interesting: If something is "interesting", it "intrigues us" or "makes us curious". Example: "Last night I watched an interesting programme about elephants". This does not share a similar meaning with "a minefield".
2 recent immigrants to the USA: This is the best choice here. "Newcomers" to a country, or any other destination, are those who have recently arrived there, or who have not been there for very long. Example: "If you are a newcomer to Paris, you may be surprised by the number of tiny dogs in this city".
2 American expatriates: This does not share a similar meaning with "newcomers to the USA". "American expatriates" are US nationals who have decided to live in a country other than the USA. Example: "I live in Dubai, but most of my friends are also American ex-patriates". Note that we often shorten this term to "ex-pats".
2 illegal immigrants in the USA: This does not share a similar meaning with "newcomers to the USA". An "illegal immigrant" is someone who has come to a country in a manner that breaks the law. Example: "I came to this country as an illegal immigrant but now I'm a politician."
2 students of American English: This does not share a similar meaning with "newcomers to the USA". "Students of American English" are learning the language: they are not necessarily living in America.

to be ashamed --> to be proud 2
to forget --> to remember 3
to allow -->to forbid 4
1 to make up your mind: This is correct. To "change one's mind" is to take back a decision, or to make a different decision than the initial one. To "make up one's mind" is to do the opposite: to decide definitively to do something. For example: She changed her mind several times, but eventually she made up her mind and bought the blue pencil.
1 to lose your mind: "To lose your mind" is be irrational, or even to go "mad" or "crazy". For example: After "Dallas" was taken off the air, Horatio briefly lost his mind and broke everything in his laboratory. He calmed down after being given sedatives.
1 to blow your mind: To "blow someone's mind" is to impress or amaze them. For example: Some of his paintings blew my mind. I had no ideas that someone could paint such remarkable images.
2 to be proud: To be or to feel "ashamed" is to feel profoundly humiliated or guilty. To be "proud" is a good antonym for "ashamed". It means to take pleasure or satisfaction in one's actions. For example: After failing the driving test several times, I felt ashamed. Once I passed the test however, I felt proud!
2 to be pleased: To be "pleased" is not a good antonym for "ashamed". To be "pleased" is to feel content or satisfied, however "proud" is a better antonym in this case.
2 to be embarrassed: To be or to feel "embarrassed" shares a close meaning with "ashamed". The two terms are nearly synonymous, but they aren't antonyms!
3 to remember: To "forget (an important meeting)" is to be unable to remember it, or to neglect it. To "remember" is the direct opposite: to keep information in mind or in memory.
3 to remind: To "remind" is to explicitly cause someone to remember something. For example: I left a note on her desk to remind her to call an important client. "Reminding" is different than remembering, and not truly an antonym of "to forget".
3 to get: "To get" is not an antonym of "to forget". To "get" something means to "obtain" or "have" it.
4 to forbid: "To allow (something to happen)" is to permit it or to let it transpire. There are a few terms which could be considered antonyms: to forbid, to deny, to prohibit.
4 to permit: "To permit" is synonymous with "to allow"; both terms mean "to authorize".
4 to punish: "To punish (someone for bad behavior)" is to penalize or castigate them. For example: I punished Bobby for skipping school by taking away his television privileges.
