I can help you, but first may I ask which you believe is correct? (:

Answer 2

If you replace the word with its varying definitions, you will be able to conclude which definition is correct.
An example:
Word: "incredibly"
The girl thought the rose was xxx beautiful.
Definition 1: to a great degree; extremely or unusually.
Definition 2: used to introduce a statement that is hard to believe; strangely.

Obviously, definition 1 is more suitable.
