Explanation:

Question 5 (Incredulous)

To solve this, we analyze the meaning of "incredulous". The word "incredulous" refers to a state of being unwilling or unable to believe something, which matches option b. Option a describes "hostile", option c describes "afflicted", option d describes "temperament", option e describes "remorse", option f describes "glean", option g describes "prowess", option h describes "lament", option i describes "engrossed", and option j describes "amiability".

For "engrossed", the meaning is being fully occupied or absorbed in something, giving full attention. Looking at the options (even though some are cut off, from the visible ones and the definition), option i (from question 5's options, assuming it's repeated here) matches. The visible options a is "hostile", b is "incredulous", but the correct definition for "engrossed" is being fully absorbed, which aligns with the description in option i (from the previous question's options, as the structure suggests).

Answer:

b. unwilling or unable to believe something; skeptical
