Choose the word which is opposite in meaning to the underlined word in each sentence:

James is a disco-addict. He takes his studies rather lightly.

  • A Humorously
  • B Gloomily
  • C Tediously
  • D Carefully
  • E Seriously

The correct answer is E. Seriously

The correct option is E. Seriously. The word “lightly” means not taking something seriously or considering it as unimportant. Therefore, its opposite would be “seriously”, which means in a solemn or considered manner.
