Answer:

to move in from the side

Step-by-step explanation:

Outflank has different meanings:

1) move around the side of something to attack from behind, in war.

2) Gain an advantage over something or someone.

So, turn around and have an advantage are synonyms for outflank.

Be surprised by is irrelevant.

Move in from the side is the opposite of move around and the correct answer.
