Which symptom is associated with acute fatigue?

• A. Irritability
• B. Euphoria
• C. Increased accuracy
• D. Superb timing

Answer: (A)

Acute fatigue tends to affect mood and cognitive control, so people become more irritable as tolerance to stress decreases and patience wears thin. This irritability reflects reduced mental energy and slower processing, not an uplifted mood or flawless performance. Euphoria would signal an unusually elevated mood, which isn’t typical of fatigue. Increased accuracy and superb timing imply heightened alertness and precise functioning, which fatigue generally diminishes rather than enhances. So irritability best matches what acute fatigue commonly produces.
