Question 1 Report

In the question below, choose the option nearest in meaning to the word or phase in italics.
Obi's dog is old but still lively.
Answer Details
The option nearest in meaning to the word in italics, "lively," is "frisky." "Lively" and "frisky" are both adjectives that describe something or someone as being full of energy and vitality. In this sentence, "lively" describes Obi's dog as being old but still energetic. The other options, "attractive," "howling," and "barking," do not accurately convey the meaning of the word "lively" in this context. "Attractive" describes physical appearance, while "howling" and "barking" are actions that dogs can do but do not convey the sense of energy and vitality that "lively" and "frisky" do. Therefore, the option that is nearest in meaning to the word in italics is "frisky."
