Perpetual most likely means continuous because it suggests something that is ongoing, never-ending, or happening without interruption.

Awkward is the best fit for the meaning of clumsy because it implies a lack of coordination or gracefulness. Clumsy individuals often have difficulty performing tasks smoothly and may appear awkward in their movements. This word captures the essence of clumsiness more accurately than the other options. Backward implies a different meaning related to direction, stupid refers to a lack of intelligence, and noisy relates to loudness rather than lack of coordination.

Limber most likely means flexible because the word "limber" is often used to describe a person or an object that is capable of bending or moving easily without stiffness or resistance. This suggests that the person or object is able to stretch or adjust their shape without difficulty, indicating flexibility. The other options, powerful, muscular, and slippery, do not accurately capture the meaning of "limber" as they describe different qualities or characteristics.

Therefore, "cause delay" is the most suitable definition for impair in this context.
