Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Nervous.
"Overstrung" means being in a state of anxiety or tension, which aligns with feeling "nervous" before a performance. The other options don't match the meaning:
- Cheerful means happy or in a good mood.
- Calm and Placid both refer to being relaxed or undisturbed, which is the opposite of being overstrung.
