This answers my question, and shows what I
mean about the annoyingly indecisive verbal
adjective. Here, anyway, it is diagrammed
as a verb. Yet the grammar books say it is
being "used as" an adjective. Go figure.

Sorry. I had lost the context of the original sentence in which flummoxed appeared. You selected the correct diagram. The one I selected was for a different situation altogether.
