Correct Answer: Provoke


Solution : The second option is the correct answer.

In the context of the sentence, the use of the term tantalise suggests that the neighbour's words provoke or tease, causing curiosity or desire. Provoke is an appropriate synonym, as it denotes the idea of inciting a reaction or response.

The meanings of other options are as follows:

  • Pacify: This means to calm or soothe.
  • Misguide: This means to lead in the wrong direction or provide incorrect guidance.
  • Direct: This means to give guidance or instructions.
