DOLOROUSAnswer & explanation
Answer: B) Painful
Meaning: dolorous = full of sorrow, causing or expressing grief *(शोकपूर्ण, दुखदायी)*.
Painful = causing pain or distress *(पीड़ादायक, कष्टकर)* — it carries the same load of suffering, so it is the closest match.
A dolorous sigh, a dolorous ballad, a dolorous face — each one hurts to hear or to see.
Why the others are wrong.
• joyous = full of joy, delighted *(आनंदमय, हर्षपूर्ण)* — the exact opposite, and the trap the paper is fishing for.
• triumphant = victorious, exulting in success *(विजयी, विजयोल्लासपूर्ण)* — celebration, not sorrow.
• indifferent = having no interest or feeling either way *(उदासीन, तटस्थ)* — an absence of emotion, while dolorous is a strong emotion.
*Latin* dolor *mean
