Question

Choose the correct option of the given word-
Pacify
a) Agitate
b) Soothe
c) Light
d) Anguish

Answer 1

Hint: A verb is a word or group of words that is used to indicate that something happens or exists, for example, bring, happen, be, do.

Complete answer:
The given word 'Pacify' is a verb which means ' to make somebody who is angry or upset be calm and quiet'. For eg. Troops were sent to pacify the country, and in one village a soldier found a copy of Moses' laws and tore it up in public with jeers and blasphemies.
We will look at each option carefully and try to find out the meaning and figure out the answer through it:
Option ‘a’ agitate meaning to make other people feel very strongly about something so that they want to help you achieve it. For eg. This feeling began to agitate me with a vexing, forward-reaching sense of a lack that should be filled.
Option ‘b’ soothe means to make somebody calmer or less upset; to comfort somebody. For eg. I surely deserve the comfort of a little friend to soothe the trouble of the mind.
Option 'c' light means the energy from the sun, a lamp, etc. that allows you to see things. For eg. She handed him a light blue shirt.
Option ‘d’ anguish means great mental pain or suffering. For eg. A look of anguish crossed Johnny’s face.
After analyzing each option carefully, we came to the point that the option 'a' is the right answer. So the correct meaning of the word “pacify” is “agitate”.

Note:
All the other options are plausible distractions. Don't confuse between 'anguish' and 'agitate'. Both are very strong feelings but have different meanings.
