Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Correct Answer
Indifferent
Explanation
The question asks for the antonym (a word with the opposite meaning) of "Eager".
The word eager is an adjective used to describe someone who shows a lot of interest, excitement, or intense desire to do or have something. Therefore, Indifferent (which means having no interest, concern, or sympathy) is the exact opposite.
The other options are incorrect because they are synonyms (words with similar meanings) of eager:
Keen means having or showing great perception, trust, or enthusiasm for something.
Interested means showing curiosity or concern about something.
Enthusiastic means having or showing intense and eager enjoyment, interest, or approval.
Key Points
An eager student is highly motivated and excited to participate, whereas an indifferent student does not care either way.
