Select the word closest in meaning to the word:

'Hysterical'

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

Option 1: Perverse -> means contrary or deliberately unacceptable behavior, not related to emotional agitation.

Option 2: Languid -> means lacking energy or vitality, essentially the opposite of hysterical.

Option 3: Famished -> means extremely hungry, unrelated to emotional state.

Option 4: Overwrought -> means extremely agitated, nervous, or in a state of excessive emotional excitement.


Hence, Option 4: Overwrought -> "Hysterical" describes someone who is wildly uncontrolled emotionally or extremely agitated. "Overwrought" perfectly captures this meaning as it refers to being in a state of nervous excitement or excessive emotional agitation -> correct
