Ques 54 GATE 2024 SET-2


If →' denotes increasing order of intensity, then the meaning of the words [walk →jog→sprint] is analogous to [bothered →_______→daunted].
Which one of the given options is appropriate to fill the blank?

A

phased

B

phrased

C

fazed

D

fused


(c) is the correct answer.

The sequence walk → jog → sprint shows an increasing level of intensity, where each action is stronger or faster than the previous one.
In the same way, we need to find a word that shows increasing emotional intensity in the sequence:
bothered → _______ → daunted

Here is what each word means:

  • Bothered – slightly upset or disturbed.
  • Fazed – noticeably disturbed, shaken, or upset; stronger than "bothered."
  • Daunted – intimidated or overwhelmed; stronger than "fazed."

So the correct increasing order of emotional intensity is:
bothered → fazed → daunted
Therefore, the appropriate word to fill the blank is (c) fazed.
