The peach tree is most productive when the roots are kept near the surface.
Option 1: futile
Option 2: lush
Option 3: potent
Option 4: fertile
Correct Answer: futile
Solution : The first option is the correct answer.
Productive, in the context of the sentence means yielding a significant amount of fruit or output. The opposite of this would be futile, which means producing no useful result, being unsuccessful, or being ineffective.
The meanings of the other options are as follows:
- Lush means luxuriant, abundant, or characterised by thriving vegetation.
- Potent means having great power, influence, or effectiveness.
- Fertile means being able to produce abundant vegetation or crops.
Therefore, the correct answer is futile .
