Fill in the blanks:
The athlete was left feeling __________ after being left __________ of the final team selection.

"Dejected" means feeling sad or disappointed, which fits the context of being excluded from the final team selection."Out" is the correct preposition, as someone is "left out" when excluded.Invigorated, in – "Invigorated" means full of energy, which contradicts the negative emotion implied by being left out.Exultant, over – "Exultant" means joyful, which does not fit the context of exclusion.Slighted, within – "Slighted" means feeling insulted, which could fit, but "within" does not correctly complete the phrase.
