Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option D

annoyance

Solution :

The correct answer is annoyance.


Step-by-step Explanation:

1. Analyze the first pair (Delusion : hallucination):
Both "delusion" and "hallucination" refer to states of deceptive perception or false belief. They are synonyms or closely related words describing a misleading mental experience.

2. Determine the relationship for the second word (chagrin : ?):
"Chagrin" refers to a feeling of annoyance, vexation, or embarrassment caused by disappointment or failure. To complete the relational pair, we need to find a word that is synonymous with "chagrin".

3. Evaluate the given options:
- illusion: A false idea or belief (synonym to delusion, not chagrin).
- ordered: Arranged neatly or methodically (unrelated).
- cogent: Clear, logical, and convincing (unrelated).
- annoyance: A feeling of being annoyed; irritation or vexation.

Therefore, "annoyance" shares the same synonym relationship with "chagrin" as "hallucination" does with "delusion".
