Wholly
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Entirely.
The word wholly means completely or fully, which matches the meaning of entirely. Both words express the idea of something being done or existing in full, without any part left out.
The other options do not match the meaning of 'wholly':
Weekly means happening every week — unrelated to 'wholly.'
Barely means only just or hardly — almost the opposite of 'wholly.'
Lonely means feeling sad due to lack of company — unrelated in meaning.
