QUIESCENTAnswer & explanation
Answer: A) Dormant
The word 'Quiescent' means in a state or period of inactivity or dormancy.
Option 1 (Dormant) is correct because it is the closest synonym, both meaning 'in a state of inactivity but capable of becoming active'.
Option 2 (Calm) is partially related but emphasizes the absence of disturbance rather than inactivity.
Option 3 (Passive) is partially related but refers to acceptance without action, slightly different from being inactive.
Option 4 (Still) is partially related but emphasizes a lack of movement rather than inactivity in a deeper sense.
