OE
The second part of the sentence explains the frst, so the blank describes someone who is best characterized by wearing a permanent frown. Tis disallows “an amiable,” “a beautiful,” “a prudent,” and “a stunning,” none of which demand or allow for such a characterization. While “a sullen” and “a surly” do not mean exactly the same thing, they create sentences with the same meaning.
Thus the correct answer is a sullen (Choice A) and a surly (Choice C).

Sullen means gloomy or resentfully silent; An archaic meaning of Surly is menacing, crabby, or irritable.
The meanings are close, though not exactly the same.
