Which word means a loud and impassioned noise or disturbance?

• A. Poignant
• B. Uproar
• C. Trudge
• D. Haggard

Answer: (B)

A loud and impassioned noise or disturbance is described by the term uproar. An uproar conveys both the loud volume and the charged energy of people reacting strongly, often causing a chaotic or disruptive scene. It’s the kind of word you’d use for a crowd shouting, arguing, or reacting with intense emotion in a way that fills the room.

Poignant refers to something deeply emotional or touching, but not to a sound or disturbance. Trudge means to walk slowly and with effort, which has nothing to do with noise. Haggard describes a tired, worn appearance, not sound or interruption.

So, the word that best fits a loud, active disturbance caused by strong feelings is uproar.
