Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer:

We humans can be angry in different ways and to different degrees, so we've come up with quite a list of words to describe this emotion. Let's take a look at some of the different terms we've come up with. Perhaps the least intense forms of anger are "mad," which is a casual term, "upset," which often includes sadness or frustration, and "cross," which implies mild annoyance, often temporary.

Stronger in intensity, "furious" emphasizes extreme anger, "irate" reflects formal or justified anger, "fuming" suggests simmering frustration, and "heated" is often tied to arguments or passionate discussions. At the highest levels, "enraged" and "infuriated" focus on the uncontrollable aspect inherent in the anger. "Incensed" highlights righteous indignation and "livid" emphasizes a physical display of anger, such as trembling or turning pale. "Seething" refers to anger that is contained but intense, often below the surface.

"Vexed," "indignant," and "displeased" convey more restrained or intellectual irritation, with "vexed" being mildly annoyed, "indignant" involving anger over perceived injustice, and "displeased" suggesting quiet disapproval.

The other options were antonyms of "angry," with a focus on being calm and composed.
