Which term describes a state of anxiety or nervous excitement?

• A. Agitation
• B. Perturbation
• C. Composure
• D. Daily Food

Answer: (A)

When a question asks for a term that describes a state of anxiety or nervous excitement, the best fit is agitation. Agitation means being restless and emotionally aroused—showing signs like pacing, fidgeting, or a sense of inner tension. It directly conveys that mix of worry and energized tension you’d expect in anxiety or nervous excitement.

Perturbation is a valid word, but it’s more formal and often used to describe disturbance or worry in a broader or more technical sense rather than everyday emotional state. Composure is the opposite of agitation, meaning calm and self-controlled, so it doesn’t describe anxiety at all. Daily Food is unrelated to emotional states.
