    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.
