Dynamic
a. lethargic
b. apathetic
c. flabby
d. active

Answer 1

Hint: The word ‘dynamic’ refers to ‘(of a person) positive in attitude and full of energy and new ideas'. This word is usually used as an adjective as well as a noun. Another synonym of this word can be written as ‘spirited’.

Complete answer:
 A synonym is a word/phrase that has the exact or nearly the same meaning as another word/phrase in the same language, for example, ‘talk’ is a synonym of ‘chat’, as they convey the same exact meaning as each other, which means that they can replace each other in a sentence. We already know the meaning of ‘dynamic’.

Now, we know the meaning and usage of the given word. Let’s look at the given options-
a. lethargic - The word ‘lethargic’ refers to ‘affected by lethargy; sluggish and apathetic', so this word has a completely different meaning to the given word. This is not the synonym of ‘dynamic’. This is not the required answer. So, this is an incorrect option.
b. apathetic - The word ‘apathetic’ refers to ‘showing or feeling no interest, enthusiasm, or concern', so this word has a completely different meaning to the given word. This is not the synonym of ‘dynamic’. This is not the required answer. So, this is an incorrect option.
c. flabby - The word ‘flabby’ refers to ‘(of a part of a person's body) soft, loose, and fleshy', so this word has a completely different meaning to the given word. This is not the synonym of ‘dynamic’. This is not the required answer. So, this is an incorrect option.
d. active - The word ‘active’ refers to ‘engaging or ready to engage in physically energetic pursuits', so this word has the exact same meaning as the given word. This is the synonym of ‘dynamic’. This is the required answer. So, this is the correct option.

Note:
Try to understand the meaning of the word, as accurately as possible, by understanding the sentence. Then, go through the options one by one and choose the word similar in meaning to the given word, i.e. a synonym.
