Sneha Patel answered |
Explanation:
Introduction:
The correct answer to the question is option 'b) Natural'. In this explanation, we will discuss why 'Natural' is the correct answer and why the other options are not suitable.
Understanding the term 'Artificial':
The term 'Artificial' refers to something that is not naturally occurring and is made by human beings. It is the opposite of 'Natural', which refers to things that exist or occur in nature. When we talk about something being artificial, it means it has been created by human intervention or through human effort.
Explanation of the options:
Let's analyze each option to understand why 'Natural' is the correct answer.
a) Red: The color red is not directly related to the term 'Artificial'. Red can be found in both natural and artificial objects. For example, red flowers can be natural, while a red car may be artificial. So, this option does not directly relate to the term 'Artificial'.
b) Natural: This is the correct answer. 'Natural' is the opposite of 'Artificial'. Natural things are those that exist or occur in nature without any human intervention. For example, natural resources like water, air, and sunlight are not artificial.
c) Truthful: The term 'Truthful' refers to something that is honest or accurate. It is not directly related to the term 'Artificial'. This option does not provide a suitable alternative to 'Artificial'.
d) Solid: The term 'Solid' refers to a state of matter where particles are closely packed together and have a definite shape and volume. While artificial objects can be solid, it does not directly relate to the term 'Artificial'. This option is not a suitable alternative to 'Artificial'.
Conclusion:
Based on the above analysis, we can conclude that the correct answer is option 'b) Natural'. 'Natural' is the opposite of 'Artificial' and represents things that exist or occur in nature without any human intervention.

Arnav Saini answered |
Explanation:
Industrious means hardworking, diligent, or industrious. It refers to someone who is actively engaged in work or activities and puts in a lot of effort and dedication. In the given options, we need to choose the word that is most opposite in meaning to industrious.
Indifferent:
Indifferent means lacking interest, concern, or enthusiasm. It refers to someone who is apathetic or unconcerned about something. This word does not represent the opposite of industrious because an indifferent person may still be hardworking and diligent in their work.
Indolent:
Indolent means lazy or idle. It refers to someone who avoids work or effort and prefers to be inactive or lazy. This word represents the opposite of industrious as it describes someone who lacks the drive or motivation to work hard.
Casual:
Casual means relaxed, informal, or nonchalant. It refers to something done without much thought or effort. While it does represent a more laid-back attitude, it is not necessarily the opposite of industrious. A casual person can still be hardworking and dedicated.
Passive:
Passive means inactive or inert, lacking in energy or initiative. It refers to someone who tends to go along with things without taking action or showing much enthusiasm. While it may represent a lack of drive or initiative, it is not the direct opposite of industrious. A passive person can still be hardworking in certain situations.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B) Indolent, as it represents the opposite meaning of industrious by describing someone who is lazy or idle.

While it may represent a lack of drive or initiative, it is not the direct opposite of industrious. A passive person can still be hardworking in certain situations.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B) Indolent, as it represents the opposite meaning of industrious by describing someone who is lazy or idle.
