Many newspaper readers are ________ by the superstitious writing style of editorials.
Explanation
"Many newspaper readers are bothered by the superstitious writing style of editorials."
"Bothered" means disturbed or irritated, which fits the context of how readers feel about the writing style.
"Belied" means to contradict or give a false impression, which doesn’t fit here.
"Bereaved" means to have lost someone, usually through death, and it doesn't apply in this context.
