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.

1 to obey the rules: This is the best choice here. To "abide by" the rules and regulations means to obey or adhere to those rules. Another example: "Catholics are expected to abide by the Ten Commandments".
1 to object to the rules: This is not correct. To "object to (capital punishment)" is to protest, refuse or express a contrary opinion to it. Example: "I object to the use of public money for political campaigning."
1 to know the rules (by heart)
2 She is shy: This is correct. "(She) wouldn't say boo to a goose" is an informal British expression meaning that someone is shy or timid. The American equivalent might be "she wouldn't say boo to a fly", though this is less common. In the dialogue, Brian is expressing that Luna is shy, and isn't the type of person who would insult Horatio.
2 She is smart: This is incorrect. The expression Brian uses is unrelated to someone's intelligence.
2 She is polite: This is incorrect. The expression Brian uses is unrelated to someone's politeness or tact.
3 great anger: This is correct. "Rage" describes strong, intense anger, or even a state of craziness (He flew into a rage). In this dialogue, Horatio tells Brian that his tea has "fueled his rage", or that the tea that Brian has given him has made him even more angry.
3 a communicable disease in mammals: This is incorrect! Don't confuse "rage" with "rabies", a highly communicable disease common in rats, bats and dogs.
3 intense sadness: This is incorrect! "Rage" describes anger and discontent, and not sadness or melancholy.
