Answer:

numb

Explanation:

The description of Eveline does not indicate any feelings whatsoever. There is no sign that she is confused or annoyed. We also don't have any indication that she is thinking. The only possible clue into her mindset is that she is tired and this is not enough to go either positive or negative. Therefore the best answer is numb.

This excerpt comes from the short story “Eveline “ written by James Joyce. Eveline lives with her father in Dublin and wants to leave home with her boyfriend Frank to go to Buenos Aires. In the end she does not have the guts to do so. It was a big step for her and she was confused if leaving was the best idea.
