Question
Read this sentence from "On Top of the World", a story of the first men to journey all the way to the North Pole.
"At the start of the journey, they had been rowdy, often scrapping among themselves; now, after more than a month, they were listless." (From "On Top of the World", Illuminate) How does the term "rowdy" contribute to the reader's comprehension of the word "listless" in this sentence? (1 point)
O Due to their status as antonyms, "listless" likely means "lacking energy."
• Given their relationship as synonyms, "listless" most likely means "wild and unruly."
• Through giving an instance of "rowdy" behavior, "listless" most likely means "prone to fighting."
By offering a rationale for the behavior described as "rowdy," "listless" most probably refers to "extremely hungry."
