Answer 2

Answer:

Dull as a tomb could be very slow to think or understand. A person who lacks interest in doing anything or one who is lazy.  

Explanation:

Sometime due to some unknown reason, we may wish to be idle and not want to do or actively participate in any activity we could say he or she is dull as a tomb. This action or activity depicts a person’s mood and feelings. It could be a temporary phase in a person.  

But if someone is always not interested in performing any activity, then it is some sort of illness. Normally this phrase is used when someone is not interested or does not have the ability to perform some work or understand something to be done. Example: Nit was dull as a tomb during the wedding celebration.
