      Question

      Select the most appropriate option to substitute the bold

      word in the given sentence. She was absolutely shocked when she heard the unexpected news.
      A barely Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B mildly Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C completely Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D softly Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      The word "absolutely" is correct, but "completely" is also an appropriate synonym and fits naturally in the sentence.
      "Barely" and "mildly" suggest a weak reaction, which contradicts the idea of being shocked.
      "Softly" is unrelated to emotion or reaction in this context.
