Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.
His autobiography will be one of the most ______ awaited books.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The most appropriate option to fill in the blank is eagerly.
The word "eagerly" means "with great interest or excitement". It is the most accurate word to describe a book that is anticipated by many people.
The other options are not as accurate.
- Deftly means "with skill and dexterity". It could be used to describe a book that is well-written, but it is not as specific as "eagerly".
- Badly means "in a poor or unsatisfactory way". It is not a positive word and it does not make sense to describe a book as "badly awaited".
- Slowly means "taking a long time to do something". It is not a positive word and it does not make sense to describe a book as "slowly awaited".
