1. anxious confusion
2. that shared in the general awe and terror
When looking at the options with the context clues, we can eliminate any definitions that have a positive connotation. None of the context clues indicate that consternation would be something that is good. While the first option shows a negative connotation for consternation it is not specific enough to pinpoint a meaning for the word. The context clue "general awe and terror" indicates that there is confusion.
Well, most slang words that have been used for a long period of time have been added to the dictionary, but then again, some other slang words have not. So, it really depends on the word.
But, for a straightforward answer i would say yes, just because some slang words are in the dictionary.
