ZEST

Options:

Indifference

Detachment

Unconcern

Enthusiasm

Correct Answer:

Enthusiasm

Explanation:

The most appropriate synonym of the word zest is enthusiasm.

  • Zest means great enjoyment, liveliness, or enthusiasm.
  • Indifference means lack of interest or concern.
  • Detachment means lack of emotional involvement.
  • Unconcern means lack of worry or anxiety.

Zest and enthusiasm are both adjectives that mean to have great enjoyment or liveliness. However, zest has a stronger connotation of being full of life or energy, while enthusiasm can simply mean to be excited or interested in something.
