Discussion

Explanation:

“Defusing” or de-fusing is ‘to resolve or cool (a situation)’.
“Diffusing” is ‘spreading’ (Guru’s ideas) and the appropriate word for the first sentence.
To “bait” is ‘to trap or to tease’. The students were asking irrelevant questions to tease or torment the instructor.
“Bate” is to ‘lessen’ or ‘restrain’.
“Horde”, the third word, refers to ‘a mass or group’.
“Hoard” is ‘to stockpile’.
“Internment” is ‘imprisonment’ and is the fourth word.
“Interment” is ‘burial’.
“Unsocial” is ‘having or showing a lack of desire for the company of others.’
“Unsociable” goes a step further. It means, ‘not sociable; having, showing, or marked by a disinclination to friendly social relations; withdrawn.’ A team “could not deal” with someone - is a bit extreme. So, here, “unsociable” is more appropriate. Another way to arrive at the appropriate word here is by elimination. If you were able to figure out most of the other words, “unsocial” would have been in one of the eliminated options.
Therefore, the correct sequence is BABBA.
Hence, the correct answer is option 1.
