Trabajadora is an adjective that matches a feminine singular pronoun and translates into hardworking. In Spanish, an adjectives must match the noun or pronoun they describe in both gender and number. Since persona is a feminine singular adjective we choose trabajadora instead of trabajador that is the masculine singular form of this adjective. Therefore, the dialogue might be written as follows:

- ¿Cómo es una persona que trabaja mucho?  

- Esta es una persona trabajadora

Generosa is the only feminine singular adjective and translates into generous (its masculine form is generoso) and is a woman that shows a readiness to give more of something, as money or time, beyond what is necessary or expected. We chose the feminine form of this adjective because hermana is a noun given in feminine singular form as well, so the adjective that describes this noun must agree in both gender and number with it. So the only option that meets those requirements is generosa

Joven means young and is an adjective that describes a person who has lived or existed for only a short time. On the other hand, the word viejo means old and is a person who has lived for a long time; no longer young. Therefore, you can realize that the pair joven-viejo represents opposites.

Recall that in Spanish, definite articles, nouns, adjectives, among others, must agree in both number and gender. Los is the definite article that matches the masculine plural form. On the other hand, libros is a noun that matches this form as well. Also, the son is the conjugation of the verb ser that matches the third person plural in the simple present. Finally, chistosos is an adjective that also matches the masculine plural form.

Recall that an adjective is a word that gives us more information about a noun or pronoun they describe. On the other hand, an adverb is a word or phrase that modifies or qualifies an adjective, verb, or other adverb or a word group. So the word rápido translates into fast and the word rápidamente means quickly.
