Correct Answer: gloomy


Solution : The second option is the correct answer.

In the context of the sentence, the description of the person looking gloomy, frail, broken, and slow aligns with the meaning of bleak which conveys a sense of desolation, sadness, and a lack of hope.

Gloomy captures the mood and emotional state depicted in the sentence, making it the most fitting synonym in this context.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Slow means moving at a low speed.

  • Frail means physically weak or delicate.

  • Sudden means happening or coming unexpectedly or abruptly.

Therefore, the correct answer is gloomy.
