Answer
- Lethargic
- Listless
The sentence describes a coach lambasting his team, so it can be inferred that the coach is upset by their performance.
Lethargic and listless both denote a state of low energy or enthusiasm. If the team performed lethargically or listlessly, it makes sense that the coach is upset.
Errant describes someone who makes an error. Although this fits the sentence, there is no other equivalent adjective in the answer choices, so choice A is incorrect.
Frenetic denotes a fast pace or recklessness. This could also fit the sentence, but again, there is no other equivalent adjective in the answer choices. Therefore, choice B is incorrect.
Hapless means unlucky or unfortunate, so choice C is incorrect. Choice D is incorrect because to be immutable is to be unchanging or unyielding.
Select the two answer choices that, when used to complete the sentence, fit the meaning of the sentence as a whole and produce completed sentences that are alike in meaning.
During halftime, the coach lambasted his players for their ____________ performance.
- errant
- frenetic
- hapless
- immutable
- lethargic
- listless
