Correct Answer: humiliated


Solution : The third option is the correct choice.

Humiliated means to cause someone to feel ashamed or embarrassed, which fits perfectly in the sentence.

The meanings of the other options are:

  • Worried refers to a state of anxiety or concern about something.
  • Horrified means a strong negative emotional response to something shocking.
  • Disgraced means a person who has fallen from a position of respect due to their actions, all of which, while similar in the expression, are inappropriate to be used in the sentence.

Therefore, the complete sentence is: "The man felt humiliated when he got to know that he had been cheated."
