If '→' 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?
Show Hint
- ( phased)
- ( phrased)
- ( fazed)
- ( fused)
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Understanding the relationship.
The relationship in the sequence ([ {walk} to {jog} to {sprint} ]) represents increasing levels of intensity or progression. Similarly, the sequence ([ {bothered} to ______ to {daunted} ]) represents an increasing intensity of emotional disturbance or difficulty.
Step 2: Analyzing the options. (A) phased: This refers to stages or steps, but it does not fit the context of emotional progression. (B) phrased: This relates to wording or expression, which is irrelevant here. (C) fazed: This means disturbed or unsettled, fitting perfectly between {bothered} and {daunted}. (D) fused: This refers to joining together, which does not align with the context.
Step 3: Selecting the correct option.
Option (C) fazed correctly represents the increasing emotional intensity from {bothered} to {daunted}.

- Given an input line of numbers and words, a machine rearranges them following particular rule in each step. Here is an illustration of an input and rearrangement sequence (Step 1 to Step 5) :
Input: 61 wb ob 48 45 29 34 sb pb lb
Step 1: lb wb ob 48 45 29 34 sb pb 61
Step 2: lb ob wb 45 29 34 sb pb 61 48
Step 3: lb ob pb wb 29 34 sb 61 48 45
Step 4: lb ob pb sb wb 29 61 48 45 34
Step 5: lb ob pb sb wb 61 48 45 34 29

Sequence the following sentences in a coherent passage.
P: This fortuitous geological event generated a colossal amount of energy and heat that resulted in the rocks rising to an average height of 4 km across the contact zone.
Q: Thus, the geophysicists tend to think of the Himalayas as an active geological event rather than as a static geological feature.
R: The natural process of the cooling of this massive edifice absorbed large quantities of atmospheric carbon dioxide, altering the earth’s atmosphere and making it better suited for life.
S: Many millennia ago, a breakaway chunk of bedrock from the Antarctic Plate collided with the massive Eurasian Plate.- GATE XL - 2024
