Respuesta :

I would say it B because it makes the most sense because he has been doing really well in class and emboldened would mean so that he would have confidence in what he is going to say in Paris

b. emboldened

When we look at the sentence, we can see that because of his good performance in French class, he was motivated or encouraged to try speaking French on his trip.  Because we know that his attempt at speaking French is a direct result of his ability, we know that we’re looking for a word similar to “motivated/encouraged.”  That said, of the options, “emboldened” is the most appropriate word to use here.
