In the absence of miracles, my frustration spikes.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. increases.
- Increases are a suitable option.
- "Increases" is the only one that indicates an increase or growth, consistent with the definition of "spikes."
- Compared to other options:
- Digs: Digs usually refer to digging or poking something. It does not indicate that frustration is rising or increasing. It has nothing to do with the growing frustration environment.
- Falls: "Falls" denotes a reduction or a decline. Unlike "spikes," which denote an increase, this is the reverse.
- Losses: "Losses" is a term used to describe anything being lost or having less of a certain amount or worth. Furthermore, it is not indicative of a rise in annoyance, which is why this is a bad substitute for "spikes."
