The new soldier doesn't like to study or help to clean the barracks.

• A. I think he's lazy.
• B. He is very studious.
• C. He volunteers for chores.
• D. He performs drills daily.

Answer: (A)

This item tests your ability to infer a person’s attitude from what they do. If someone doesn’t like to study or help clean, the natural takeaway is that they aren’t motivated to take on tasks, which is commonly described as lazy. The option that states he’s lazy captures that direct interpretation.

The other choices describe opposite or unrelated traits: being very studious would mean he likes studying, volunteering for chores shows a willingness to help, and performing drills daily suggests discipline. None of these fit the given idea that he dislikes studying and helping out.
