Answer: 2 – Annoy
Solution (Correct Option – 2: Annoy):
The word “pester” means to trouble or irritate someone repeatedly with requests or interruptions (बार-बार तंग करना या परेशान करना).
The most appropriate synonym is “annoy”, which means to irritate or bother someone (चिढ़ाना, तंग करना).
Pester – बार-बार परेशान करना
Annoy – झुंझलाना या चिढ़ाना
Why other options are incorrect:
• Adore – Means to love deeply (बहुत प्यार करना), opposite in meaning
• Abuse – Means to mistreat or insult (गाली देना या अत्याचार करना), too strong and not the same as mild pestering
• Amuse – Means to entertain or make someone laugh (मनोरंजन करना), opposite in tone
