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].

• A. phased
• B. phrased
• C. fazed
• D. fused

Hint:

When solving analogy questions, focus on the nature and progression of relationships between the terms in the first set to identify the correct answer in the second set.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The relationship described in the first analogy is based on increasing intensity: \[ \text{walk} \to \text{jog} \to \text{sprint}. \] This progression moves from low intensity (\text{walk}) to high intensity (\text{sprint}). Similarly, in the second analogy: \[ \text{bothered} \to \text{\_\_\_} \to \text{daunted}. \] Step 1: Analyze the terms.
"Bothered" indicates mild disturbance, and "daunted" represents a high level of emotional disturbance. The intermediate level is best represented by "fazed." Step 2: Eliminate incorrect options.
(1) "phased" does not relate to emotional intensity.
(2) "phrased" is unrelated to emotions.
(4) "fused" does not fit the context.
Hence, (3) "fazed" aligns with the progression. Final Answer: \[ \boxed{\text{fazed}} \]
