Grammar
incredulous & incredible
I came across a question like this:
Choose the right word to complete the bracket in the following sentence:
"You haven't seen him for over a year?" he sounded (incredible, incredulous)
Which one do you prefer to choose? I 'd like to choose "incredulous" which has an implication that "he" has a doubt attitude himself. What is your opinion about this?
Thank you in advance!

Yes. I am incredulous, while the item/event is incredible. (I, of course, could be incredible in the eyes of another person, were I to perform some extraordinary stunt, for instance.)
