Explanation

The word 'distraught' means extremely upset and agitated. Flustered, rattled, and perturbed all describe states of being upset, nervous, or disturbed - synonymous with distraught. 'Composed' means calm and in control of one's emotions, which is the opposite of distraught. Therefore, composed is the word that does not match the meaning of distraught.
