The other options in the word bank, such as "expect," "questioning," and "authority," do not convey the same meaning as "nervously" in relation to anxiety or agitation.

A doubt about the truth or validity or something WORD BANK: nervously, expect, questioning, authority

Correct Answer

The word "questioning" matches the context of the given phrase "A doubt about the truth or validity of something." When someone is questioning something, they are expressing doubt or uncertainty about its truth or validity. The other words in the word bank, such as "nervously," "expect," and "authority," do not accurately capture the meaning of doubting or challenging the truth or validity of something. Therefore, "questioning" is the correct answer.
