## Step 1The problem is a comprehension question based on a literary excerpt. The underlined sentence in the excerpt is "He made the last statement in a tone of distinct regret." We need to analyze this sentence to understand what it suggests about Framton's character.## Step 2The sentence indicates that Framton is expressing regret about not knowing many people in his surroundings. This suggests that he is not familiar with his surroundings.## Step 3The other options such as lack of courage in new situations, being easily irritated by others, or being slightly self-conscious about his shyness are not supported by the text. The text only suggests that Framton is unfamiliar with his surroundings.
