The word 'lazy' in the phrase 'a small lazy stream of dirty water' means :
Answer: B
Here 'lazy' means slow.
Used of a stream or river, 'lazy' describes water that moves slowly and gently, with little force. The phrase pictures a thin, slow trickle of water in a large, nearly empty canal.
'Tired' and 'lethargic' describe living beings lacking energy, which is the everyday sense of lazy but not the sense here. 'Murky' means dark and dirty, which the phrase already says with 'dirty water'; it is not what 'lazy' adds.
