The teacher praised the student for his diligent work and consistent effort.Answer & explanation
Answer: D) lazy
The most appropriate antonym of the underlined word "diligent" in the sentence is:
lazy
• Diligent means showing care and effort in one's work, while lazy means unwilling to work or put in effort, which is the opposite.

• Squander means to waste something, usually time or resources, but it is not directly an antonym of diligent.
• Frazzle means to become worn out or exhausted, which isn't the opposite of diligent either.
Thus, the correct answer is lazy. - SSC CHSL 2024 T-1 Antonyms
