Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation:
Alacrity means liveliness, eagerness, or promptness.
Avidity — means eagerness or strong desire; this makes it a synonym rather than an antonym.
Cheerfulness — refers to a happy or pleasant mood; it does not express the absence of eagerness or liveliness.
Sprightliness — means liveliness or animation; this is also a synonym of alacrity.
Dullness — means lack of liveliness, interest, or energy; this is the direct opposite of alacrity.
Therefore, dullness is the correct antonym.
