And then last night I woke up—or rather was wakened without knowing what had roused me.

Choose the best synonym for the word roused as it is used in this excerpt from Nadine Gordimer's "Once Upon a Time."

1. disturbed
2. found
3. scared
4. revived

Answer 1

A. Disturbed

Step-by-step explanation:

Disturbed and roused are both words to mean that one's awareness was brought to something. If you insert "disturbed" into the sentence in place of roused, the sentence still makes sense and has the original meaning.
