I think the correct answer is C
Your question is missing the instructions and the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:
Read the following sentence, selecting the most appropriate word from the given choices to fill the gap. His preparations for the Olympic Games had been very thorough. He had been training
intrinsically
ostensibly
systematically
predominantly
for months.
Answer:
The best way to complete the sentence is with "systematically".
Explanation:
First, let's see what each adverb means:
intrinsically -- essentially; naturally.
ostensibly -- apparently; seemingly.
systematically -- methodically; completely; detailedly.
predominantly -- mostly; mainly; chiefly.
Now, let's use a little bit of logic. As we all know, an athlete who prepares to compete at the Olympic Games does so completely. He/she trains constantly, absolutely focused, for months, sometimes even years. They have a systematic training, that is, they practice in a methodical, fixed, disciplined manner. Therefore, the best option is "systematically".
- His preparations for the Olympic Games had been very thorough. He had been training systematically for months.
Answer:
d) Mercedes is the only one at home, and she is too busy with her embroidery in Madam Hailer's room to come near you
Explanation:
a) “You are going to build a large house, Mr. Darrell?” said Victoriano, turning his horse so as to ride beside Clarence; “judging by the amount of lumber being hauled.”
b) “I understand, and I think my father will be willing to sell the land. He is at home now. Let us go up to see him.”
c) They have too much sense not to know that you would not be working in white kid gloves.
d) Mercedes is the only one at home, and she is too busy with her embroidery in Madam Hailer's room to come near you
Since Mercedes is depicted as being at home alone before having a love encounter, it is clear that the author has resorted to narration to communicate this information.
Answer: It's the first answer: "she"
