Correct Answer: inexperienced


Solution : The first option is correct.

In this context, greenhorn signifies that the new intern lacks knowledge or skill in the workplace. So, inexperienced implies vulnerability, suggesting that the intern's superiors take advantage of his lack of experience, exploiting the newcomer's unfamiliarity with the job or industry.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Jealousy means coveting the possessions or advantages of others.
  • Overenthusiastic means excessively enthusiastic or eager.
  • Sick means affected by illness.

Therefore, the correct answer is inexperienced.
