Correct Answer:

diligently

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → diligently

Complete sentence:
Arjun works diligently to achieve his goals, and never succumbs to adverse challenges.

Explanation:

  • Diligently means in a careful and hard-working manner, which fits perfectly with someone focused on achieving goals.

  • Raspingly means in a harsh or grating way — not appropriate here.

  • Languidly means slowly or with little energy — the opposite of the intended meaning.

  • Sleekly refers to something smooth or glossy in appearance — unrelated.
