Wizened
“Withered” is a word that, when used as an adjective, means wrinkled due to being very old, so we need to pick out an answer choice that means something like wrinkled or old. That means that “youthful” cannot be the correct answer, because “youthful” means young, making it an antonym, not a synonym, of “withered.” “Wizened,” however, is an adjective that means shriveled from being old, and because “wizened” is the answer choice closest in meaning to “withered,” “wizened” is the correct answer.

“Newfangled” is an adjective that means new and representing a change from the traditions to which one is accustomed, so we need to pick out an answer choice that means something like new and different. That means that “bygone” cannot be the correct answer, because “bygone” means happening in the past, making it an antonym, not a synonym, of “newfangled.” “Modern,” however, is an adjective that can mean up-to-date, and because “modern” is the answer choice closest in meaning to “newfangled,” “modern” is the correct answer.
