Solution
✅ Correct Option: 1
'Impetuous' (acting rashly, without restraint) fits the person who needs to restrain himself (A)-(IV). The warm welcome takes 'effable' as given, in the sense of an affable, friendly welcome (B)-(I). 'Taciturn' (reserved, saying little) matches the man who hardly spoke (C)-(II). 'Diffidence' (shyness) is what she overcame to speak frankly (D)-(III).
Note: The NTA option reads 'effable' where 'affable' fits the blank; we have treated it as the intended word for the welcome.
