SSC CGL 2022 PYQ — Question 1

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. heavily.

• "Heavily fined" is a common collocation in English that means to be charged a large or significant amount of money as a penalty for committing an offense or breaking a law.
• "Wholly" means entirely or completely, "hardly" means barely or scarcely, and "slowly" means at a slow pace.
• In the given sentence, the speaker is stating that motorists who commit a particular infraction are charged a significant amount of money as a fine.
• The other options, "wholly fined", "hardly fined", and "slowly fined" do not make sense in the context of the sentence.
• None of these words are commonly used in combination with "fined" in English.
• The correct collocation to fill in the blank in the given sentence is "heavily fined".

Thus, the correct answer sentence is:

Motorists committing this infraction are heavily fined.
