In the following passage some of the words have been left out. Read the passage carefully and select the correct answer for the given blank out of the five alternatives.
One day, a/an __(A)__ Brahmin came to him and started abusing him. The Brahmin thought that Gautum Buddha would __(B)___in the same manner, but to his utter surprise, there was not the slightest change in the expression on his face. Now, the Brahmin became more furious. He __(C)__ more and more abuses at Buddha. However, Gautam Buddha was completely __(D)__. Ultimately the Brahmin was tired of abusing him. " I have been abusing you like anything, but why are you not angry at all ? asked the ___(E) __ Brahmin.
Which of the following fits in the blank labelled (E)? 1). Hostile 2). Disparaging 3). Bold 4). Puzzled
The word 'hostile' means 'showing or feeling opposition or dislike; unfriendly' and is not apt here. The sentence mentions that the Brahmin was confused why Buddha was not behaving in that manner thus the correct word here would be 'puzzled' which means 'confused.' The word 'disparaging' means 'derogatory, opinion that something is of little worth' and does not fit in this context. The word 'bold' is a misfit here. The word 'amicable' means 'friendly' and would be incorrect here. Thus option 4 is the correct answer,$
