A synonym of "bewilder" is . . .
Since "bewilder" is a verb that means "confuse," we need to find another verb that also means "confuse." While "confusion" may look like a great answer choice, it is a noun, not a verb (it doesn't represent an action) so it can't be the right answer. However, because "perplex" means "confuse," it is the correct answer.

A synonym of "clarify" is . . .
"Clarify" is a verb that means "make a statement or situation less confused and more clearly comprehensible," so we need to pick out another verb that means something like "make something more clearly understandable." While "clean" might look like a potentially correct answer, "clean" means " free from dirt, marks, or stains." Because "clean" does not have the same meaning as "clarify," "clean" cannot be the correct answer. "Explain," however, is a verb that means "make an idea, situation, or problem clear to someone by describing it in more detail or revealing relevant facts or ideas." Because "explain" is the answer choice closest in meaning to "clarify," "explain" is the correct answer.
