正解 · Answer
失望した
解説 · Why
がっかりする expresses disappointment when expectations are not met. Its Sino-Japanese counterpart is 失望する. The paraphrase task often pairs a casual word with its formal equivalent like this.
誤答 · Why the other options are wrong
喜んだ — 喜ぶ means "to be pleased" — the opposite of disappointment.
安心した — 安心する means "to be relieved" — almost the opposite emotional direction.
驚いた — 驚く means "to be surprised"; surprise is not the core meaning of がっかり.
