The correct answer is C. Puzzled

Step-by-step explanation:

The tone or the attitude of the speaker is often revealed by the use of words or language to refer to a specific issue. In the case presented the use of expressions such as "a little crazy" and "How could a newcomer, an unknown, get elected?" show the narrator or author does not understand how a newcomer was elected and he/she evens believe this is not fine or acceptable. Due to this, the tone or attitude of the author is "puzzled" considering he/she is perplexed by the outcome of the elections.
