"Which trousers? What shirt? Which socks, what shoes?" Bartholomew just wasn't able to choose. Completely confounded , he'd settle once more on what he had chosen the morning before.

Which of these lines from the poem helps the reader know what the word confounded means?

Bartholomew just wan't able to choose

He'd go down to breakfast (a little bit smelly)
