Sorry, I left out a "mood"
Read the following sentences from "Five Hours to Simla."
The baby let drop its narcotic rubber teat, delighted. Its eyes grew big and shone at all it saw flowering about
it. The little girl was perplexed, wondering what to choose from so much till the perfect choice presented itself
in a rainbow of colour: green, pink, and violet, her favourites. It was a barrow of soft drinks, and nothing on
this day of gritty dust, yellow sun, and frustrating delay could be more enticing than those bottles filled with
syrups in those dazzling floral colours which provoked in her a scream of desire.

Which do you think it is? Did you look up all four of those words?
Yes, but they don't help me know exactly what the answer is. It could be all of them. I think it might be "giddy".
I think "giddy" is correct.

Thank you.
