Choose from the options nearest in meaning to the word underlined.The men were lardy in offering help?
Answer Details
The word "lardy" is not a standard English word and is likely a typographical error. It is possible that the intended word was "lardy," which means fat or overweight. However, none of the given options seem to fit the context of the sentence. If we assume that the intended word was "lardy," then the closest in meaning to it would be "slow" as it implies that the men were slow in offering help.
