Final answer:
The word 'flings' suggests an impulsive and unrestrained state of mind, indicating spontaneity rather than calmness or hesitance in the girl's behavior. Option C.
Step-by-step explanation:
The word 'flings' in the context of these passages suggests a certain impulsiveness or lack of restraint in the girl's actions. It implies that her behavior is not calculated or deliberate, which contrasts with a state of calmness or methodical actions.
The word carries connotations of being sudden and forceful, indicating a more spontaneous and potentially uncontrolled state of mind.
When comparing the provided options in relation to the word 'flings', the most fitting description of the girl's state of mind is impulsive and unrestrained (Option C).
Options A (calm and calculated) and B (methodical and deliberate) are not supported by the connotations of the word 'flings', and Option D (hesitant and unsure) is also inconsistent with its implied spontaneity.
So option C.
