Easy point! which word describes maria according to maria is a fifteen-year-old girl who attends a high school. she is not very applied to her studies because she doesn't like to read. she never studies at home. she prefers to prepare some dishes for the family. at school she is in a cooking class where she learns how to prepare new dishes. one day maria speaks to her father of her favorite class. is maria: a. lazy b. serious c. applied d. diligent

First, we cancel out C, it specifically said that she wasn't aplied. Lazy? maybe... She obviously isn't very studious but that does not automatically means lazy. Serious? Well... It never really says anything about seriousness. Honestly, it is a pretty cr*ppy question but hey, that's English class for ya. The only one that works is D. Diligent. Now, it might be lazy, because it says that she never studies, but the paragraph ends with her finding a new passion and how she loves to cook. So that is not particularly lazy. Tell me if I was right or not, and I hope this helped.
