Question

Replace the word underlined with its synonym. The student was diligent in his studies.

• A. careless
• B. lazy
• C. hard working
• D. slow

Answer 1

Answer:

C. hard working

The word “diligent” means hard-working, careful, and sincere in doing work or studies.

So its synonym is:

• hard working

Other options are incorrect because:

• careless → opposite meaning

• lazy → opposite meaning

• slow → unrelated meaning
