read the following passage:
\when dorian came home from work, he discovered his twins and their babysitter were a study in contrasts. the boys were gleefully racing around the yard at high speed, while grandma sat limply on a lawn chair, totally enervated.\
based on context clues in the reading, define \enervated.\
○ exhausted
○ energized
○ excited
○ enthused

Explanation:

The passage presents a contrast between the twins (racing around, gleeful) and the babysitter (sitting limply). "Enervated" should mean the opposite of energetic/excited. "Exhausted" fits as it implies tiredness, matching the limp posture. "Energized," "excited," and "enthused" contrast with the limp description, so they are incorrect.

Answer:

A. exhausted
