Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. usually.

Let's have a look at the meaning of the given options-

  1. happily- in a happy way.
  2. slowly- at a slow speed; not quickly.
  3. proudly- with a feeling of pleasure or satisfaction over something.
  4. usually- in the way that is usual; most often.

The given statement is contradictory as it contains "But" so, we need to understand that the statement is trying to generalise the fact of misunderstanding "Discipline". So, "usually" will be the appropriate answer.

Hence, the chosen option will be correct.
