Answer Details
The correct option is "off". "Wear off" is an idiomatic expression which means to diminish gradually or disappear after a period of time. In this context, the sentence implies that the person's surprise lasted for a long time before it eventually diminished or disappeared. Therefore, the appropriate word to complete the sentence is "off".
