Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word from the given options:-
Life ________ turns out the way we expect it to, and we must learn to adapt to all the twists and turns it throws at us.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → seldom
Complete sentence: Life seldom turns out the way we expect it to, and we must learn to adapt to all the twists and turns it throws at us. The second half of the sentence says we must learn to adapt to life’s twists and turns. That is needed because life rarely turns out the way we expect.
| Word | Meaning | Example |
|---|---|---|
| (1) seldom (answer) | rarely, not often | We seldom see snow in Chennai. |
| (2) certainly | without doubt (if life certainly went as expected, there would be no twists to adapt to) | She will certainly win the prize. |
| (3) fully | completely (it describes degree, not how often, and "fully turns out" is not natural English) | I fully agree with you. |
| (4) always | every time (it contradicts the twists and turns in the second half) | He always arrives on time. |
