C and E.

Explanation:

The word "punctilious" is an adjective which means 'to be exact or strict in observation of conduct or actions'. So, in the given context, Amira is 'strict' or 'controlling' concerning (with regard to) details. She is very specific about where her things should be placed in her room. So, option C is correct.

The word "punctilious", in the given context, also means that Amira is uptight (exact or strict) about cleanliness. So, option E is also correct.

So, according to the definition, the correct options are C and E.
