Question

If ‘→\to’ denotes increasing order of intensity, then the meaning of the words
[walk →\to jog →\to sprint] is analogous to [bothered →\to ________ →\to daunted].
Which one of the given options is appropriate to fill the blank?
A.
phased
B.
phrased
C.
fazed
D.
fused

Correct answer

(C) fazed

Solution

The sequence [walk →\to jog →\to sprint] represents physical activities in increasing order of intensity. Similarly, the second sequence should represent states of mental disturbance/worry in increasing order of intensity.
1.Bothered: Mildly worried or annoyed.
2.Fazed: Disturbed or disconcerted (stronger than bothered).
3.Daunted: Intimidated or overcome with fear/worry (stronger than fazed).
The other options do not fit the context:
  • Phased: Carried out in stages.
  • Phrased: Expressed in words.
  • Fused: Joined together.
Thus, fazed is the correct word.
