Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Correct answer: the misspelt word is 'Disspassionate'; the correct spelling is 'dispassionate'.
What is wrong: 'Disspassionate' has an extra 's'. Remove the second 's' to get the correct form 'dispassionate'.
Why this matters: 'dispassionate' means impartial or unemotional, which matches the sentence describing an external observer.
Other words in the sentence — 'bewildered', 'enormous', and 'irrevocably' — are correctly spelled and appropriate in context.
