Question
If ‘’ denotes increasing order of intensity, then the meaning of the words [charm enamor bewitch] is analogous to [bored _______ weary].Which one of the given options is appropriate to fill the blank?
Correct answer
(A) jaded
Solution
The sequence [charm enamor bewitch] represents an increasing order of intensity of attraction or fascination. Similarly, the sequence [bored _______ weary] should represent an increasing order of intensity of fatigue or lack of interest.
1.Bored: Feeling weary and restless through lack of interest.
2.Jaded: Tired, bored, or lacking enthusiasm, typically after having had too much of something. It is more intense than being simply bored.
3.Weary: Feeling or showing extreme tiredness, especially as a result of excessive exertion.
Options like 'baffled' (confused), 'dead' (lifeless), and 'worsted' (defeated) do not fit the intensity scale of boredom/tiredness. Therefore, jaded is the most appropriate word.Continue learning with Success Tracker
