Hint: A language unit having one or more sounds that are spoken or their written representation that serves as a principal carrier of meaning. Words are usually divided in writing by spaces, and are phonologically differentiated in many languages, as by accent.

Complete answer:
Words consist of one or more morphemes and are either the smallest units that are vulnerable to independent usage or are composed of two or three such units combined under certain conditions of linkage.
There are millions of words in English. Each word has a specific meaning of its own. Also, same words may mean different things depending upon the context in which it is used. A word has its own meaning. We cannot place a word freely in a sentence. The word has to compliment the sense of the sentence. Now, to find out which of the given words will fit in the provided sentence, let us look at the context.

A. Open: It refers to something that is not covered, be it things or someone’s personality.

B. Free: It refers to being able to act or be done as one wishes.

C. Reserved: It refers to someone who is slow to reveal emotion or opinions.

D. Frank: It refers to someone who is open, honest and direct in speech.

The given sentence implies that the girl is shy and for that reason she does not participate in debates. Options A, B, and D mean the opposite of shy and hence none of the options can be the correct answer. Therefore, the correct answer is option C as it means the same as being shy.

Hence the correct answer is option ‘C’

Note: You should always know the meaning of the sentence that it is implying. When you know the meaning, it helps you to identify the correct answer easily.
