Explanation:

The passage shows Bev is upset about Millicent interacting (smiling) with Herb Dalton, and confronts her about it. This reaction aligns with jealousy, as Bev is angry over Millicent's connection to Herb. The other options are not supported: Millicent does not seem confused, Bev's goal is not embarrassment, and Millicent responds honestly without fear.

Answer:

Bev is jealous of Millicent.
