plz, try to get it right i don't wanna report!

choose the word that best matches the word italics

after the team lost the game, the players found solace at their dinner together at the restaurant.
a. consultation
b. discomfort
c. interest
d. optimism

D.  Optimism

Explanation: The word solace means comfort or support in a time of sadness, which would match the definition "optimism" best. Consultation would not fit, because the players do not have a meeting at the restaurant, and neither would discomfort, because it means the exact opposite of "solace." Interest also doesn't work because it doesn't really make sense in the given context.

i am confused, i do not see a speech unless you mean the
