Q2
EnglishVocabulary: Meaning, Synonyms & Antonyms
An indefatigable person remains
  1. a.untired
  2. b.unhappy
  3. c.unrelentful
  4. d.unsocial

Answer: (A) untired

'Indefatigable' = in- (not) + fatigue (tiredness) + -able, i.e. one who cannot be tired out, so such a person remains untired; common synonyms are tireless, unflagging and untiring. 'Unhappy' and 'unsocial' have nothing to do with fatigue, and 'unrelentful' is not a standard word (the real word 'unrelenting' means not yielding or not becoming less severe). Do not confuse it with 'indomitable' (cannot be subdued).
