Exegesis
The coordinating kai {καὶ | kaí} connects a second imperfect, dieporoun {διηπόρουν | di-ē-pó-roun} ‘they were perplexed’, which adds a layer of ongoing confusion to their amazement, creating a progression of emotional intensity.
In context — Acts 2:12
And all were amazed and were perplexed , one to another saying, “What does this mean ?”
