there are two options, f**led and cheated but i think the answer should be f**led
The correct answer is:
B. f**led
Sentence:
"Awa deceived Ahmed into handing over all his savings."
Let’s break it down:
The word deceived means to mislead someone by lying or tricking them, especially to gain something from them — like money or trust.
Now let’s look at the options:
A. cooked – 
Not related at all in this context.
B. f**led – 
Means tricked or deceived — very close in meaning.
C. cheated – Close, but cheating usually emphasizes unfair advantage, not necessarily tricking someone into handing something over.
D. betrayed – Means breaking trust, which can involve deception, but is broader and more emotional.
Final Answer: B. f**led
Tip to Never Forget:
If someone was deceived, they were f**led—led to believe something false.
“Deceived” = “f**led” = “Tricked” — simple and direct.

Cooked = (not related to tricking someone—usually means preparing food or falsifying books/accounts)
f**led = tricked someone in a playful or deceptive way
Cheated = acted dishonestly to gain something (close in meaning)
Betrayed = broke trust, usually with someone close (not always by lying)
