Answer

The first thing you may notice about this rather long sentence is the key word "unlike." This tells us that Matt is different from Tyler, the boy who enjoys being active and constantly busy. In other words, we're looking for a word that means the opposite of "busy," and that similarly describes calming activities like relaxing on the couch. The only correct answer choice is "leisure," which refers to time devoted to relaxation or calming activities. "Labor" means work when it is used as a noun or a verb, which is the opposite of what Matt likes to do. "Intensity" implies that something is powerful or extreme, so it is not a word that we would think of as describing someone lounging on the sofa. Finally, "honesty," which means truthfulness, has nothing to do with this sentence.
