Answer 1

petulant.

Step-by-step explanation:

Palpable - able to be touched or felt

Distraught - deeply upset and agitated

Bewildered - confused

Petulant - childishly sulky or bad-tempered

I would most likely choose petulant because since the sentence is talking about the child always in a bad mood, it would fit in with it.

Answer 2

Distraught

No other word would fit the sentence.
