DELIRIOUS

Asleep

Incoherent
“Delirious” is an adjective that means either “in an acutely disturbed state of mind resulting from illness or intoxication and characterized by restlessness, illusions, and incoherence of thought and speech” or “in a state of wild excitement or ecstasy.” So, we need to pick out an answer choice that means something like “in a disturbed state of mind characterized by incoherence of thought and speech” or “in a state of wild excitement.” That means that “comprehensible” cannot be the correct answer, because “comprehensible” means “able to be understood; intelligible,” making it an antonym, not a synonym, of “delirious.” “Incoherent,” however, is an adjective that means “unable to speak intelligibly” when describing a person. Because “incoherent” is the answer choice closest in meaning to “delirious,” “incoherent” is the correct answer.
