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.
The central idea is: A job may be perfect for you even though you have trouble finding it.
How can we make this inference?
- the writer states that s/he spent a lot of time preparing for job applications
- throughout the passage, we find hints that finding a job in the industry is challenging. For example the writer states: <em>By the time I began the search for my first full-time job, the job market was in bad shape. During my first few months looking for a job, I sent out countless resumes and only had one interview.</em>
- In the end, the writer is satisfied with the job and finds out that it has positive aspects.
Conclusion: The writer had trouble finding a good job but ultimately found an appropriate one.

Hospitality is mentioned many times in Odysseus. It is known as xenia in the poem. One notable example is.
Here is a poor man come, a wanderer,
driven by want to beg his bread, and everyone
in hall gave bits, to cram his bag—only
Antinous threw a stool, and banged his shoulder
The lines show Odysseus disguised as a beggar and shares his bread with another beggar in a weird way because he had to defeat him in order to eat. However, Odysseus does not kill the old man and even shows his hospitality.
Explanation:
Here is a poor man come, a wanderer, driven by want to beg his bread, and everyone in hall gave bits, to cram his bagÑonly Antinous threw a stool, and banged his shoulder "Suppose Athena's arm is over us, and Zeus her father's, must I rack my brains for more?" "The cruel belly, can you hide its ache? How many bitter days it brings!" Odysseus only shook his head, containing thoughts of bloody work, as he walked on, then sat, and dropped his loaded bag again upon the door sill.
