Antonyms

Question:

Select the most appropriate antonym of the given word.

LANGUID

Options:

energetic

lethargic

indolent

sluggish

Correct Answer:

energetic

Explanation:

The most appropriate antonym of the word languid is energetic.

  • Languid means "lacking energy or enthusiasm; slow and relaxed."
  • Energetic means "having or showing a lot of energy and enthusiasm; vigorous."

The other words do not have the same meaning as languid, so they are not its antonyms.

  • Lethargic means "showing a lack of energy or enthusiasm; sluggish."
  • Indolent means "disposed to avoid exertion or activity; lazy."
  • Sluggish means "slow and lacking energy or vitality."
