From the article Dumped, what is the meaning of soft-wired

in the following passage?

Unfortunately, the same applies to love's darker side. We humans are soft-wired to suffer terribly when we are rejected by someone we adore-for good evolutionary reasons.

Question 5 options:

a)

programmed through adaptation

b)

doomed with misfortune

c)

ready to blow up at any moment

d)

meant to fall in love

A). Programmed through adaptation.

Explanation:

As per the question, the context cues reveal that the word 'soft-wired' means 'programmed through adaptation.' The word 'soft' implies something that is flexible and could easily be bent or molded which goes appropriate in the context of humans (in the excerpt) as they program or organize themselves as per the situation through adaptation. Humans adapt themselves even in the situations of suffering and pain caused by rejection and adore them for 'good evolutionary reasons.' Thus, option A is the correct answer.

The answer is A) Programmed through adaptation.
