Answer 2

Reckless

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given scenario from the statement of Anagnos - Annie, be - humble. It is not as if you have so many offers to pick and choose. You will need their affection, working with this child.

It implies Anne has little options by way of a job. So she needs to humble and not recklessly jeopardise her limited opportunities.

However from her statement - The only time I have trouble is when I'm right. Is it my fault it's so often?

It is apparent she is not taking the opportunity serious.

So the best word to describe Annie I'm this excerpt is reckless.
