Explanation:

- "Amused" refers to being entertained or finding something funny.

- Option 1: Frightened – This means being scared or afraid. It's not the opposite of amused, as they describe different emotional states.

- Option 2: Jolted – This means being shaken or startled briefly. Like frightened, it's more about surprise or movement and not directly opposite of amused.

- Option 3: Astonished – This is being very surprised or amazed. It's not a direct opposite because astonishment also carries a positive connotation similar to amusement.

- Option 4: Saddened – This means feeling sorrowful or unhappy. It's the opposite of amusement, as it refers to a negative emotional state instead of a positive one.

- Option 4: Saddened is indeed the nearest antonym to "amused."
