diligent

The option that does not match the meaning of the word "luscious" is:

Option 1: diligent

Here's why:

• Luscious primarily refers to something that is intensely pleasurable to the senses, especially taste or smell. It suggests richness, sweetness, or a luxurious experience. Diligent means hardworking and persistent, which has no connection to sensory pleasure or luxury. While diligence can be rewarding in the long run, it doesn't evoke the immediate and sensual delight associated with lusciousness.
• Delicious, delectable, and delightful all share a similar connotation with luscious, emphasizing taste, appeal, and enjoyment. They are synonyms or close relatives of luscious in meaning.
