OFFICIAL EXPLANATION


The correct answers are A and F.

Both "lethargy" and "languor" denote an extreme lack of energy or state of physical weakness or listlessness, so they match "physical laziness." You can eliminate choice B, apathy, which means "lack of interest"; choice C, petulance, which means "irritability"; choice D, decrepitude, which means "a state of deterioration due to old age"; and choice E, turpitude, which means "baseness or depravity."
