dory was angry as she walked home. none of her
friends believed her. she had told them shed be
flying a small airplane by herself this weekend, but
his friends just laughed and gave incredulous
looks. dory decided there was only one way to
prove that she was telling the truth. she would
bring in her pilots license on monday.

Explanation:

The root "cred" means "believe." The prefix "in -" often means "not." So "incredulous" likely means "not believing." Also, in the passage, Dory's friends didn't believe her (as they laughed) and gave "incredulous looks," which supports the idea of "disbelieving."

Answer:

disbelieving
