    • Liturgy

    • Listerine

    Correct Answer
    A. Lethargic
    Explanation
    Lethargic means lacking energy or being sluggish. It is the most suitable word among the options provided because it directly relates to the phrase "without energy". Lethal means causing death, which is not related to the given phrase. Liturgy refers to a religious ceremony, and Listerine is a brand of mouthwash, both of which are unrelated to the concept of lacking energy. Therefore, lethargic is the correct answer.

    A. Atone
    Explanation
    The word "atone" means to make reparation for a sin, misdeed, mistake, or error. It suggests that an individual is taking responsibility for their actions and attempting to make things right. This could involve making amends, seeking forgiveness, or making restitution. The other options, "renig," "untone," and "awash," do not have the same meaning or connotation as "atone."

It is the most suitable word among the options given, as the other words do not convey the same meaning.

    Explanation
    The word "traverse" means to go over, along, or through; cover or cross. It is a transitive verb, which means it requires an object to complete its meaning.

    A. Lure
