Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II

  • A. Fuddled → III. Stupefied: "Fuddled" means confused or stupefied, often due to intoxication.
  • B. Imposter → I. Defraud: An "imposter" is someone who deceives or defrauds others by pretending to be someone else.
  • C. Portend → IV. Predict: "Portend" means to indicate or predict something, often something ominous.
  • D. Impenous → II. Domineering: Though likely intended as "imperious," the meaning matches "domineering" – asserting dominance in an overbearing way.
