In terms of emotional response, what is the closest meaning of "impassively"?

Excitedly
Calmly
Fearfully
Angrily

The correct answer is: Calmly

The term "impassively" refers to a state of being unaffected or showing little to no emotion in response to situations. When someone reacts impassively, they maintain a calm demeanor, even in circumstances that might provoke a strong emotional reaction in others. Choosing "calmly" aligns perfectly with this definition, as it signifies maintaining composure and not exhibiting feelings openly. The other choices suggest strong emotional responses: "excitedly" indicates a high level of emotional engagement, "fearfully" suggests a heightened state of anxiety or fear, and "angrily" reflects overt hostility or aggression. None of these options convey the measure of emotional restraint encapsulated in being impassive.
