    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.
