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.
Let's reconstruct this sentence.
"Everyone I know complain" doesn't make much sense.
Popping an "s" on the end of "complain" might do the trick, lets try!
"Everyone I know complains" ah, there we go. Much smoother.
Next section!
"Complains because these days backpacks weigh a ton."
Though this may sound correct, it is still quite a bunch. Let's fix that.
Rearranging your words might work.
Maybe in the section that says "Complains because these days" we can change that to "Complains these days because" Much smoother, and easier to read.
We have so far is: "Everyone I know complains these days because"
Yay, let's continue.
The remaining of the sentence is fine so we can put it on the end of our freshly constructed sentence.
Our final sentence should be:
"Everyone I know complains these days because backpacks weigh a ton."
