Final answer:

The words 'agile', 'athletic', and 'fleet' all have similar meanings, indicating quickness or physical capability, unlike 'rigid' and 'dispirited' which do not align with these traits.

Step-by-step explanation:

The words 'agile', 'athletic', and 'fleet' all have similar meanings, indicating quickness or physical capability, unlike 'rigid' and 'dispirited' which do not align with these traits.

The three words with similar meanings are:

  • A) agile
  • C) athletic
  • D) fleet

These words all relate to being quick, nimble, or physically capable.

To further clarify:

  • Agile refers to the ability to move quickly and easily.
  • Athletic pertains to being physically strong, fit, and active.
  • Fleet means fast or quick, often used to describe movement.

The other words, B) rigid and E) dispirited, do not share similar meanings with the above three. Rigid means stiff or unyielding, and dispirited means having lost enthusiasm or hope.
