I could not sleep because I was too eager, so I got up early and dressed. 

Options:

Apathetic

Tensed

Satisfied

Exhilarated

Correct Answer:

Exhilarated

Explanation:
 

The most appropriate synonym of the underlined word in the given sentence is **option 4: ** exhilarated.

  • Eager means "having a strong desire or interest."
  • Exhilarated means "feeling very excited and happy."

The word "exhilarated" is more appropriate in this context because it suggests that the speaker is feeling a strong sense of excitement and happiness.

  • Apathetic means "showing or feeling no interest or enthusiasm."
  • Tensed means "feeling nervous or anxious."
  • Satisfied means "feeling content or contented."
