Correct Answer: shy


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

Explanation: This is the most appropriate synonym. Shy means being reserved or not wanting to draw attention to oneself, which is similar to being modest. In the context of the sentence, it describes a person who is unassuming and does not seek attention.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Courageous: It means having or showing courage, which is the opposite of modesty.

  • Horrific: This word means causing horror or shock. It is not a synonym for "modest" at all. 

  • Dry: It refers to something that lacks moisture or is boring and uninteresting.
