Question

Read the following passage from "The Ramayana" in which Princess Sita attempts to rest after having seen Rama.

"She lay tossing in her bed complaining. You girls have forgotten how to make a soft bed. You are all out to tease me. Her maids in attendance had never
seen her in such a mood. They were bewildered and amused at first, but later became genuinely concerned, when they noticed tears streaming down her
cheeks. They found her prattling involuntarily, "Shoulders of emerald, eyes like lotus petals, who is he? He invaded my heart and has deprived me of all
shame! A robber who could ensnare my heart and snatch away my peace of mind! Broad-shouldered, but walked off so swittly. Why could he not have halted
his steps, so that I might have gained just one more glimpse and quelled this riotous heart of mine. He was here, he was there next second, and gone forever.
He could not be à god - his eyelids flickered... Or was he a sorcerer casting a spell on people?*
All of the following words could be used to describe Princess Sita except
A. agitated
B. disenchanted
C. frustrated
D. infatuated

Answer 1

The word that does not describe Princess Sita in the passage is B. disenchanted. The passage describes Princess Sita as agitated, frustrated, and infatuated with the man she has seen. She is tossing in her bed, complaining to her maids, and unable to stop thinking about the man who has "ensnared" her heart. Therefore, the correct answer is B. disenchanted, which implies a loss of hope or disillusionment, which is not the case for Princess Sita in this passage.
