In the following question, a situation is described and followed by a list of words. Identify the correct word which can be used to describe the situation/passage or a part of the passage and mark the answer.
After anecdotal evidence pointing in both directions, doctors confirmed a reinfection for the first time in August. These numbers could change as the pandemic progresses - as the 32 reinfection cases are those that were definitively confirmed by a doctor and it's possible others slipped through the cracks. And, with just a few months at most between infections, we could see rising reinfection numbers whenever the immune system's coronavirus resistance naturally wears off, if it does.
1.Perturbing
2.Irreverent
3.Hypercritical
4.Curt
5.Derisory
Correct Answer : 1
Solution :
The second and the third sentences clearly show the author's anxiety and concern regarding the spread/progress (reinfection) of the pandemic. Hence 'perturbing' (causing anxiety or concern) is the most appropriate word to describe the given passage.
Other options - 'irreverent' (showing a lack of respect for people or things that are generally taken seriously); 'hypercritical' (excessively and unreasonably critical, especially of small faults); 'curt' (rudely brief); and 'derisory' (ridiculing) - fail to express the tone of the given passage and cannot be the answer.
