Similar
Contradictory
Not Related
Opposite

The correct answer is: Contradictory

The words "aghast" and "unsurprised" are indeed contradictory. "Aghast" means filled with shock or horror, indicating a strong emotional response to something unexpected or alarming. In contrast, "unsurprised" signifies a lack of surprise, suggesting that a person is prepared for or aware of the situation at hand. The emotional states represented by these words are directly opposed: one conveys a sense of shock and astonishment, while the other indicates calmness and acceptance of the situation. Thus, labeling them as contradictory accurately reflects the opposing nature of their meanings.
