    __________ after being left __________ of the final team selection.
    A dejected, out Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B invigorated, in Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C exultant, over Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D slighted, within Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    "Dejected" means feeling sad or disappointed, which fits the context of being excluded from the final team selection."Out" is the correct preposition, as someone is "left out" when excluded.Invigorated, in – "Invigorated" means full of energy, which contradicts the negative emotion implied by being left out.Exultant, over – "Exultant" means joyful, which does not fit the context of exclusion.Slighted, within – "Slighted" means feeling insulted, which could fit, but "within" does not correctly complete the phrase.
