Question

read the passage. then, select the synonym of the word in bold.
it certainly confused evas dog, teddy, when she tried to teach him to dance. although teddy is an intelligent dog, he was baffled by all of it. still, it was a good way for him to get his paws on some well - deserved treats.

Explanation:

To find the synonym of "baffled", we analyze the context. The sentence says Teddy, an intelligent dog, was "baffled" by Eva's attempt to teach him to dance, and the earlier part mentions it "confused" him. So "confused" has a similar meaning to "baffled" here (both imply being puzzled or unable to understand).

Answer:

confused (assuming the task is to identify the synonym from the passage context, and "confused" is the relevant word with a similar meaning to "baffled" here)
