    A poignant Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B trivial Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C hateful Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D saddening Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E jovial Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Here, ‘jovial’ is the only correct answer. It means ‘(of a person) friendly and in a good mood, or (of a situation) enjoyable because of being friendly and pleasant’. Other words are inappropriate. We need a positive word to fill in the blank. All words except option 5 convey a negative meaning. If they were nervous, it was pretty tough to tell, they had such a friendly, jovial way about them.
