Read the following passage given below and answer the question.

"This is the most powerful, meaningful work we have seen', the famous artist exclaimed to the crowd. 'This is a picture of what could have been a dystopian future. One which offers no hope. However, students, do you see how it has been torn up and repositioned? This signifies that our visionary here, Kabir, has refused to accept any ugly forecast. His picture tells us that we can tear it up and start afresh. Think afresh. Find new solutions. Think of extraordinary ways to make it a more beautiful world. Thank you Kabir".

Principal De murmured too, 'Thank you, Kabir.' She was, however, on the microphone, and therefore the whole crowd of students followed her lead. Hundreds of young voices rang out as one. 'Thank you, Kabir.'

Kabir stood there and grinned. He waved his trophy. He bowed. He did a namaste. When the applause did not die down, he even did a couple of cartwheels.

Kabir did a couple of cartwheels because he was : -

overwhelmed

Based on the context of the passage, Kabir did a couple of cartwheels because he was overwhelmed with joy and appreciation.

The passage describes how Kabir's artwork was praised by a famous artist and the entire crowd. The applause and recognition would naturally leave Kabir feeling overwhelmed with positive emotions. Doing cartwheels is a way of expressing excitement, happiness, and exuberance, which aligns with Kabir's emotional state at that moment.

The other three options are not as consistent with Kabir's reaction:

• Nervous: It is unlikely that Kabir would be nervous in this situation, given that he is receiving praise and recognition for his work.
• Confused: There is no indication in the passage that Kabir is confused about anything.
• Ashamed: Doing cartwheels is generally not associated with feelings of shame or embarrassment.

Therefore, the most appropriate explanation for Kabir's cartwheels is that he was overwhelmed with joy and appreciation.
