   DISCONSOLATE

   AComfortedBJoyfulCCheerlessDExcited
   Answer & explanation

   Answer: C) Cheerless

   Meaning: disconsolate = so unhappy that nothing can comfort you *(अत्यंत उदास, हताश, निराश)*.
   Cheerless = gloomy, without any brightness or joy *(निरानंद, उदास)* — it names the same downcast state, so it is the synonym.
   A disconsolate supporter after the final whistle is exactly a cheerless one.
   Why the others are wrong.
   • comforted = consoled, made to feel better *(सांत्वना प्राप्त, ढाढ़स बँधा हुआ)* — the direct opposite, since disconsolate means beyond comforting.
   • joyful = full of joy *(आनंदित, प्रसन्न)* — the wrong end of the scale altogether.
   • excited = stirred up, thrilled *(उत्तेजित, रोमांचित)* — high energy, which says nothing about happiness or grief.
   *Break the word up:* dis- *+*

Examples

• “She was disconsolate after losing her beloved pet.”
