Correct Answer: Perplexed


Solution : The correct word to fill in the blank is the second option.

It means to be puzzled or confused. In the context of the sentence, if the noise of the drum beats perplexed the tiger, it means the tiger was confused or puzzled by the noise, which could lead to fear or uncertainty.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

Persisted: It means continued to exist or endure.

Prevented: It means stopping something from happening.

Pertained means related to or relevant to a particular situation or context.

Therefore, the complete sentence is, "The noise of the drum beats perplexed and frightened the tiger."
