Question:

Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank:-

Ashu completed the project _____, ensuring that every detail was perfect.

Options:

lethargically

abruptly

recklessly

meticulously

Correct Answer:

meticulously

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → meticulously

The sentence says "ensuring that every detail was perfect," which implies great care and attention.

  • Meticulously means doing something very carefully and precisely, which fits the context.

  • Lethargically means sluggishly or without energy — opposite of what's described.

  • Abruptly means suddenly, without preparation — doesn’t match the careful tone.

  • Recklessly means without care or concern — again, the opposite of being detail-oriented.
