LASSITUDEAnswer & explanation
Answer: D) enthusiasm
Meaning: lassitude = weariness of body or mind, listlessness, want of energy *(थकान, सुस्ती, शिथिलता)*.
Enthusiasm = eager energy and keen interest *(उत्साह, जोश)*.
Energy set against the absence of energy — that is the true opposite.
Why the others are wrong.
• pleasure = enjoyment, delight *(आनंद, सुख)* — the opposite of pain, not of tiredness.
• lustrous = shining, glossy *(चमकदार, दीप्तिमान)* — an adjective, and only a sound-alike trap for *lassitude*.
• lethargy = drowsy sluggishness *(आलस्य, सुस्ती)* — a synonym, which is why most candidates lose this mark here.
*Lassitude, lethargy, languor and torpor all name the same tiredness; enthusiasm, vigour and zeal are their antonyms.*
Examples
- “The heat induced a feeling of lassitude in the travelers.”
