Ugh stupid American inversion of the meaning of "nonplussed". Couldn't get it out of my head and get the real answer.

"nonchalant" needs a better definition, I think. I know what it means but didn't get it. In six quizzes I've missed this and one other.

"Nonplussed" could also fit the definition for "nonchalant".

From Merriam Webster: "NOTE: The use of nonplussed to mean "unimpressed" is an Americanism that has become increasingly common in recent decades and now appears frequently in published writing. It apparently arose from confusion over the meaning of nonplussed in ambiguous contexts, and it continues to be widely regarded as an error."

emphasis mine.
