Explanation
'Convulsed' means to shake violently with spasms or shivering, often from illness or emotion. In the sentence, the person shook violently before collapsing. Among the options, 'shivered' (A) is nearest in meaning, describing involuntary shaking. 'Crouched' means bent down, 'shouted' and 'cried' relate to vocalization, not physical shaking. Therefore option A is correct. Cross-checked with Oswaal CDS Yearwise Solved Papers.
