Anthony Trollope was an industrious and disciplined writer.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Lazy.

  • "Lazy" is the correct antonym for "industrious" because it directly opposes the concept of being hardworking, diligent, and productive.
  • "Industrious" describes someone who consistently puts in effort and maintains discipline in their work, while "lazy" describes a lack of effort or unwillingness to work.
  • The other options do not convey a direct opposition to industriousness.
