Correct Answer: Smiling broadly


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

The idiom beaming from ear to ear is used to describe someone who is pleased, and the context indicates a positive emotion. The word "beaming" itself conveys a sense of radiant happiness. In this case, the person is not playing, working, or criticising bitterly; instead, the idiom suggests a wide, happy smile.

Therefore, the right answer is, smiling broadly.
