Question

Choose the word which is not the meaning of ‘baffled’?
A. Confused
B. Made difficult to understand
C. Prevented
D. Made easy to understand

Answer 1

Hint: Two things which are completely different from each other are called the opposite words. So that if one is true or valid the other must be untrue or invalid.

Complete answer :
The word baffled means: perplexed, confused, puzzled, mystified, etc.
Now let’s examine and understand the given option above.
Confused: The word confused means: puzzled, mystic, perplexed, etc. This option has the same meaning so it is inappropriate for the given question.
Made difficult to understand: This sentence means: something which is very hard to understand, not easy, full of confusion, etc. This option has related or same meaning so it is inappropriate for the given question.
Prevented: The word prevented means: to protect, to stop something happening, make an exact copy of something, safe, secure, etc. This option has completely different meaning; it is neither opposite nor even related to the given question.
Made easy to understand: Here the sentence has exactly the opposite meaning: to explain something more clearly, recognize, easy to understand, clear, make sense, simple, etc. This option has the opposite meaning of the given question.

Additional information: In this question you need to identify the word which is not the meaning of ‘baffled’ so the right answer will be option [c] why so because as per question point of view you need to choose “word”.
Option [D] can also be right if we look for the opposite word/ sentence because option [D] also does not define the word ‘baffle”.

Note: To find the correction option for this kind of question students should remember that they need to write the either reverse or need to choose the word which is completely different.
