Question

Choose the correct one-word substitute for:

'A state of mental weariness and lack of enthusiasm'.

• A. Languor
• B. Ennui
• C. Torpor
• D. Tedium

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Ennui

• Ennui • While all these options relate to tiredness or boredom, Ennui specifically refers to a deep, existential feeling of mental weariness, dissatisfaction, and a total lack of enthusiasm resulting from lack of interest or boredom. Tedium is the state of being boring. Torpor and Languor relate more to physical sluggishness or lack of energy.
