Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. terrified.

  • "Terrified" is used as an adjective to describe something that causes fear or terror.
  • However, in the context of the sentence, the speaker is not expressing that they love the person because they find them terrifying.
  • Rather, they are expressing their own emotional state of being terrified.
  • Thus, the most appropriate filler would be terrified.
