. . . . . . . . boy was shy and always looked down when . . . . . . . . grown-ups spoke to him.

Answer & Solution
Correct Answer: Option B
The first blank refers to boy, and the second to grown-ups. Since the boy is specified to the one that's shy, definite article "the" will be used in the first blank.
Grown-ups is an adjective acting as a noun here, thus no article will be used in the second blank.
