Correct Answer: composed


Solution : The correct choice is the second option .

"Baffled" means to be perplexed or confused. "Composed" on the other hand, means to be calm and in control of oneself, which is the opposite of being confused.

The meanings of other words are as follows:

  • Flustered means to be agitated, nervous, or confused, often due to being rushed or overwhelmed.
  • Thwarted means to be prevented from accomplishing something or to have one's plans or efforts obstructed or hindered.
  • Confused means to be unable to think clearly or to understand something.

Therefore, the correct answer is composed .
