You guys please help me with the following comprehension!

That's why sometimes certain articles as well as sentences from second language speakers don't make sense.

Simply, it's because they have more narrow knowledge of the language than natives.

In this comprehension, I think the question they give aim to the answer 'shocking'.

As you know, it's not a good question for the meaning of 'shocking' is quite negative whereas the meaning of 'sensational' is not. Is it right?

According to my coworkers, 'sensational' is closest in meaning to 'popular'. In my view, there's no way 'sensational' can have even a little bit meaning relating to 'popular'. What do you think about this?

By the way, I want to say thank you very much for your help which is really helpful.
