<p>Elena, who strongly favored the proposal, was understandably ____________ when an infuential committee member expressed a view ____________ to her own</p>
<p>A) indifferent... identical
B) distressed.... opposed
C) puzzled .... similiar
D) incensed ..... sympathetic
E) relieved ...... contrary</p>
<p>I thought it was B because Elena would be saddened upon the fact that an influential member had opposed a view to her own which would result in the proposal not being passed.
CB is saying that the answer is E, but i have no idea why. Can someone explain this ?</p>
