Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.
She was moving slowly and _________ yesterday when she fell.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Shakily.
- Shakily is the correct option.
- This term refers to an unsteady manner, which makes sense when describing a person who moves slowly before collapsing.
- Compared to other options:
- Firmly: This phrase refers to a firm, steady manner that is inappropriate in the context of someone falling.
- Vaguely: This term refers to anything unclear; it does not specify the type of movement that causes a fall.
- Strongly: This refers to a method of movement that is strong, which is not consistent with the concept of someone moving in a way that may cause them to fall, therefore it is inappropriate in this context.
