Correct Answer: excited


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

In the context of the sentence, the person's lack of travel experience abroad makes her both calm (due to unfamiliarity) and nervous (due to anticipation). The antonym that contrasts with calm and aligns with the context of nervousness is excited .

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Hyped suggests a state of excitement or enthusiasm.
  • Apathetic implies a lack of interest or emotion.
  • Hopeful suggests optimism and positive anticipation.
