"Listless"

Options:

Enthusiasitc

Correct Answer:

Lethargic

Explanation:

The correct answer is: Option (3) → Lethargic

Listless means lacking energy, interest, or enthusiasm — appearing tired, indifferent, or sluggish. Lethargic closely matches this meaning, indicating a state of drowsiness or inactivity.

Option (1) Lively – means full of energy or enthusiasm; opposite of listless.
Option (2) Brisk – means active, quick, and energetic; not similar in meaning.
Option (4) Enthusiastic – means showing intense interest or eagerness; opposite of listless.
