"She was elated when she got first position in exams." What is the meaning of "elated" in this sentence?
- A. Disappointed
- B. Worried
- C. Excited
- D. Mad
Explanation
Elated means filled with high spirits and joy, so excited is the closest of the four, and the context of coming first confirms a positive emotion. Disappointed and worried point the opposite way, which the situation rules out at once. Reading the sentence for whether the missing word is positive or negative usually halves the options before any precise meaning is needed.
