Discussion
If '→' denotes increasing order of intensity, then the meaning of the words [walk → jog → sprint] is analogous to [bothered → ________ → daunted]. Which one of the given options is appropriate to fill the blank?
Answer: C
The word that fits is fazed.
Walk, jog and sprint are the same action at rising intensity, so the blank needs a word for being disturbed that sits between 'bothered' and 'daunted'. To be fazed is to be disconcerted or put off one's stride, stronger than bothered but short of daunted (intimidated, losing the will to go on).
The other options are near-homophones that do not mean that. Phased means arranged in stages, phrased means put into words, and fused means joined or melted together. None of them describes a degree of disturbance.
