Choose the correct adverb to fill in the blank:

The architect was known for her meticulousness. She ensured every element __ in the building complemented each other, creating a harmonious space.

perfectly

Answer: (2) perfectly

Explanation:

We need an adverb describing how the elements complemented each other.

• Loudly is irrelevant to how elements complement each other visually.
• Perfectly emphasizes the ideal way the elements fit together.
• Excitedly suggests strong emotion, not relevant to meticulous attention to detail.
• Sadly conveys a negative emotion that doesn't fit the context of creating a harmonious space.
