Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e., important.

  • The filler in the sentence could be filled with the word "important", forming the correct sentence.
  • The reason for this is to provide more information about the significance of the task being discussed.
  • The word "important" is used as an adjective to describe the noun "task", indicating that the task has a high level of significance or priority.
  • The adjective "important" modifies the superlative phrase "most important", indicating that the task is the most significant among all the tasks being considered.

Thus, the correct sentence is:

You make plans the previous day to get your most important task done first thing in the morning, but you don't follow through on them.
