Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Answer: Fierce
Explanation: 'Fierce' is the best synonym because it expresses strong, intense, or aggressive emotion, which aligns with the meaning of 'furious' (very angry).
Why this is correct: Both 'furious' and 'fierce' can describe intense, aggressive anger or forceful emotion.
Why the other choices are incorrect: 'Calm' means not upset (opposite of furious).
'Happy' denotes a positive, pleasant emotion, not anger.
'Mild' means gentle or not intense, which conflicts with the high intensity implied by 'furious'.
Additional synonyms for 'furious' include: angry, enraged, irate, livid.
