Solution

The correct option is D We should shake off idleness.
The author clearly states that idleness is the grave in which a living person buries himself without the help of any outside agency, and also that an idle person is worse than an animal. That means we should shake off idleness or give up idleness. 'Embrace' means to take up idleness and, so, is not the correct answer.
