Explanation
Answer: Choice (B) is correct.

Ebullient and jovial both mean cheerful and bright, so look for the answer choice that contains synonyms. Choice (A) is incorrect because someone who is unassuming is modest and humble, not arrogant. Choice (C) is incorrect because abashed means embarrassed or ashamed, not brazen or shameless. Choice (D) is incorrect because puerile means childish, and therefore not mature. Choice (B) is the answer pair that contains synonyms, as languid means relaxed and leisurely.
