Ouch!

Some of you have trouble reading it seems. The question was not what the lady IS but what she NOT.

👎 Yes, the lady looks shocked, so she isn’t NOT shocked, right? What the hell does flabbergasted mean? It’s a strong and sometimes amusing word for ‘extremely surprised or shocked’. Astounded is a formal word for the same thing. Petrified literally means ‘turned into stone’, meaning that you’re so shocked or scared that you cannot move. Perplexed means ‘confused by something you don’t understand’.

👍 Loquacious was the correct answer. It’s a formal word for ‘talkative’, not a synonym of ‘surprised’.
