A.She really didn’t like Darcy.

B.She was shy.

C.She couldn’t believe what she heard.

D.She wanted to cause Darcy pain.

参考答案：A

参考解析：

细节理解题。第三段第一句“Elizabeth, who was unable to believe what she heard, stared, blushed, and was silent”可知，伊丽莎白不能相信她听到的，瞪大了眼，脸红着，沉默着；以及第四段第一句“In spite of her powerful dislike for him, Elizabeth at first felt sorry that she was going to cause Darcy pain”可知，尽管她对他非常讨厌，伊丽莎白起初还为造成Darcy的痛苦而感到抱歉。因此，Elizabeth沉默是因为她不喜欢Darcy，开始时又不忍给他造成痛苦。故选A。
