In the article “City Limits” by Colson Whitehead it states “It saw the bewilderment on your face as you stepped out of the stolen matinee, incredulous that there was still daylight after such a long movie.” This was located on the third page, on the third paragraph last sentence.

I encounter this word when I was reading “city limits” by Colson Whitehead. This word sounded very familiar however I did not know what it meant. I saw the word “Incred” so I thought it meant something like incredible.

Example: I’m still incredulous at the idea that oil had nothing to do with this political problem in the Middle East.
