Explanation:

"Ajar" means slightly open, which matches "agape" (open - mouthed in wonder or surprise). "Fazed" means disturbed or unsettled, similar to being "cowed" (intimidated). "Burly" describes a large and strong build, like "strapping". "Tormenting" shows a mean - spirited behavior, related to "truculently" (aggressively). "Amusement" is similar to "mirth" (great joy or laughter).
