Which term is synonymous with 'ecstatic'?

Happy
Angry
Exhilarated
Sad

The correct answer is: Exhilarated

The term 'ecstatic' conveys a profound sense of joy or overwhelming happiness, often associated with feelings of excitement and elation. 'Exhilarated' shares a similar meaning, as both words describe an intense emotional state characterized by excitement and a lively sense of joy. In contrast, the other options do not convey the same level of joy or excitement. While 'happy' suggests a positive emotion, it does not capture the heightened intensity that 'ecstatic' entails. 'Angry' and 'sad' represent negative emotional states that are completely opposite to the joyous connotation of 'ecstatic'. Thus, 'exhilarated' is the most synonymous term that matches the intensity and joyful connotation of 'ecstatic'.
