Question

Select the most appropriate word to complete the sentence:
 Jane is a _______ student. She reads every page of her textbooks and studies for hours before every test.
a)Meticulous
b)Lackadaisical
c)Apathetic
d)Relaxed
e)Lethargic

Answer 1

Hint: Read each word and understand the meaning. Figure out the tonality of the sentence and use the appropriate to fill in the blank.

Complete step-by-step answer:

Option ‘a’, ‘meticulous’ means to be extra careful, which aligns with the given statement, since she reads every page of the textbook, hence that is the correct option. Option ‘b’, ‘lackadaisical’ means careless or lazy, which is completely opposite to the given context, hence it is an incorrect choice. Now, option ‘c’, ‘apathetic’ means uninterested, unmotivated, or indifferent, which is completely opposite to the given sentence, hence it is an incorrect option. Option ‘d’ ‘relaxed’, means free from anxiety or calm, since there is no mention of such an attribute, it would make no sense in the given sentence, hence, clearly, it is an incorrect option. Option ‘e’ ‘lethargic’ means tired or fatigued, it has no meaning in the given context, and hence, this option is incorrect as well. Option d is the correct answer. Option ‘a’ is the correct option for the given sentence.

Note: Read every option very carefully, check the tone, and the relevance to the context of each of the given sentence.
