THIS IS WRONG ❌
✅ D. f**led: This is the nearest in meaning. To "f**l" someone is to trick or mislead them, which directly matches how "deceived" is used in the sentence.
❌ A. cooked: This is unrelated to the context and does not mean to mislead or trick someone.
❌ B. betrayed: While betrayal can involve deception, it more specifically refers to breaking someone's trust or being disloyal. It is broader and more emotional than the act of tricking someone into a specific action like handing over money.
❌ C. cheated: Although "cheated" is close, it usually emphasizes the unfair advantage gained rather than the specific act of misleading or tricking someone into a particular action. In many similar exam contexts, "f**led" is considered the more precise synonym for "deceived".
