OpenStudy (megwatskies):

i wasn't asking if you knew, i was asking if you had any guess what was or wasn't the answer

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

Not because it is a 'synonym' Hopeful means what? Staying in faith.

OpenStudy (megwatskies):

yes the answer is A.

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

gloomy and nervous doesn't promote that, does it?

OpenStudy (truwhovian11):

pessimistic gloomy nervous is the exact opposite of hopeful

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

Gloomy, probably the OPPOSITE, and nervous doesn't even give its relativity. Pest- what? Take pess out. It means negative, oh little of faith, so that is the opposite too. So A,.

OpenStudy (neycuurose1):

Optimistic means very bright, hopeful, out looking. Pessimistic means you have negative thoughts about everything. So the sentence would be re-worded as "Hannah has been turned down on many jobs and no matter how many jobs she looks for she always doesn't think she will get into a good one."
