    Solution

    "Convivial" is an adjective used to describe an atmosphere or a person that is friendly, sociable, and characterized by a lively and enjoyable demeanor. (a) Lazy: "Lazy" refers to a lack of willingness to work or use energy. It is not a synonym for "convivial," which means characterized by friendliness and a lively, sociable nature. "Lazy" does not convey the sense of being sociable or friendly.   (b) Excited: "Excited" means having a heightened state of emotion, usually positive. While someone who is excited may also be in a positive mood, it doesn't capture the specific sociable and friendly aspect of "convivial." Therefore, "excited" is not the best synonym in this context.   (c) Friendly: "Friendly" is the correct synonym for "convivial." Both terms describe a person who is sociable, amiable, and pleasant to be around. A convivial person is often relaxed and enjoys socializing, making "friendly" an appropriate synonym in this context.   (d) Confused: "Confused" means being uncertain or unclear about something. It does not convey the sense of being relaxed and sociable, so it is not the correct synonym for "convivial" in this context.
