Detailed Solution

“Still” is the correct answer.
Here, I was devastated and I displayed no emotion, which are two contradictory thoughts or notions. It is unusual to remain emotionless when one is crushed. When combining two diametrically opposed thoughts or propositions, we utilise adversative coordinating conjunctions such as but, but, even, etc. Thus, the appropriate response is "still."
So, Option 2 is the right answer.
