Answer 1

A. When Mr. Turnbull returned her essay, Anna grimaced at the

disappointing grade

Step-by-step explanation:

All of the other scenarios explain the opposite emotion; happiness. You would not be in disgust in finding a twenty-dollar bill in your pocket, neither would you be in pain while telling exciting news. However, if you were to get a bad grade, you would not be happy. You would likely fit under the definition of a grimace - "typically expressing disgust, pain, or wry amusement"
