Question
In the following question, a word has been given and
there are three ways in which the word has been used, in similar or different forms. You need to see which of the sentence(s) has/have correctly used the given word and mark your answers accordingly. Amused I. Sarah followed classes on her mother's old laptop and amused herself by doing yoga classes on Zoom, dressing up as a robot or building castles in her room. II. So he is both amused and dismayed by the attention other researchers and funding agencies continue to lavish on it. III. But the style and spirit should remain the same, at least, and we are easily amused in these terrible times.Solution
(a) 'Amused' is an adjective which means 'finding something funny or entertaining'. Statement I correctly uses the word but in statements II and III are conveying a state of confusion and not that of amusement, therefore, rendering the usage of the word 'amused' incorrect in them. Hence, (a) is correct.
Select the option that is related to the third word in the same way as the second word is related to the first word.
