Fill in the blanks:
She was left feeling __________ when her contributions were completely __________ in the final report.

Solution

"Belittled" means feeling undervalued or disrespected, which fits with the idea of someone's contributions not being acknowledged."Omitted" means left out, which logically follows when someone's work is not included in a final report."Disregarded, objectified" – "Disregarded" fits the context, but "objectified" means treating someone as an object rather than acknowledging their contributions, which doesn't align with the meaning of the sentence."Criticized, included" – If contributions were included, it contradicts the idea of being ignored or undervalued."Appreciated, overlooked" – "Appreciated" is the opposite of what the sentence suggests.Thus, Option 2 ("belittled, omitted") is the most appropriate choice.
