【解析】

【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。叙述了自己面试的经历，由于自己的紧张而导致面试没有成功。

【1】embarrassing 句意：上个月，我最尴尬的时候出现了。此处修饰名词，应该用形容词，故用embarrassing＂令人尴尬的＂。

【2】that 句意：我是如此紧张以至于我没有记住经理的名字，此处用that构成so...that...＂如此……以至于……＂结构。

【3】with 句意：我熟悉大部分流行软件。be familiar with...＂熟悉……＂。

【4】was received 句意：我给出的每一个答案都收到经理的一次皱眉头。此处主语Every answer与动词receive是被动关系，且主语是代词，谓语动词要用单数，而且文章叙述的是过去的一般事实，故用was received。

【5】social 句意：尽管我告诉了他我的社交技能。此处修饰名词用形容词social。

【6】Obviously 句意：很明显，我的表现很糟糕。此处用副词Obviously作状语。

【7】How 句意：你的视力如何？此处用How表示＂如何＂。

【8】whom/who 句意：我之前一直称他＂先生＂的那位绅士，此处whom/who引导定语从句，且在从句中作calling的宾语，先行词The gentleman指人。

【9】was wearing 语境：在整个面试期间，面试官一直穿着一件裙子。此处表示在整个面试过程中的状态，且The gentleman和wear之间为主动关系，故用was wearing。

【10】the 句意：当然，我没有得到这份工作。此处特指前面提到的hotel receptionist这份工作，故用the。
