(A) responsive . . echoes
(B) nonchalant . . exposes
(C) docile . . camouflages
(D) uncontrolled . . belies
(E) invincible . . catapults

答案和解析

答案：C

解析：

The word "but" in the first part of the sentence suggests that Maud Martha's appearance does not accurately represent her emotions. It is therefore logical to say that she "camouflages," or masks, her anger by appearing to be "docile," or compliant.
