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.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.
