Question

"But my heart is anxious and unsettled," the boy said. "It has its dreams, it gets emotional, and it's become passionate over a woman of the desert."

Which of the following best replaces "anxious and unsettled" in the sentence?

Question 2 options:

Luminous


Monotony


Melancholy


Prognostications


Agitated

Answer 1

The word that best replaces "anxious and unsettled" in the sentence is "agitated."

The word "agitated" means to feel anxious, restless, or upset. In the context of the sentence, the boy is expressing that his heart is restless and emotional because of his dreams and his passion for a woman of the desert. Therefore, "agitated" is the best option that accurately conveys the meaning of the sentence.

None of the other options - "luminous," "monotony," "melancholy," or "prognostications" - accurately convey the idea of being restless, anxious, or upset.
