Which of the following words has a similar meaning to the underlined word?
Numerous tremors without any tectonic plate movement have baffled geologists.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Perplexed.
"Perplexed" is the best synonym for "baffled" because both words convey a sense of confusion or being puzzled.
"Angered" and "irritated" refer to feelings of annoyance or anger, while "amused" means finding something entertaining, which does not align with the sense of confusion indicated by "baffled."
