Question

Select the option that can be used as a one-word substitute for the given group of words.
Filled with fear or dread

A.

Prudent

B.

Tremulous

C.

Corpulent

D.

Hysterical

Correct option is D

The correct one-word for the given group of words is (d) Hysterical.
Explanation: "Hysterical" refers to a person experiencing overwhelming fear, excitement, or uncontrolled emotion. It suits the phrase "filled with fear or dread." (Hindi meaning: आतंकित / उत्तेजित)
Example: She became hysterical when the fire alarm went off suddenly.

Meanings of other options:
· (a) Prudent: Wise or sensible. (Hindi: सावधान / विवेकशील)
· (b) Tremulous: Quivering or shaking from fear/nervousness. (Hindi: काँपता हुआ)
· (c) Corpulent: Fat or bulky in body. (Hindi: मोटा / स्थूल)

Information Booster:
While "tremulous" can reflect a physical reaction to fear, "hysterical" includes a complete emotional reaction — panic, crying, screaming — making it more appropriate.
