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
Seldom means rarely, not often. 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.
Example: We seldom see snow in Chennai.
Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 2: certainly — Incorrect. Certainly means without doubt. If life certainly went as expected, there would be no twists to adapt to.
Example: She will certainly win the prize.
Option 3: fully — Incorrect. Fully means completely; it describes degree, not how often, and "fully turns out" is not natural English.
Example: I fully agree with you.
Option 4: always — Incorrect. Always means every time, which contradicts the twists and turns in the second half.
Example: He always arrives on time.
