Question

Fill in the blank with the most suitable option:

He did not preserve the documents. _____, he has no proof of his actions. [Advanced]

• A. Thus
• B. Certainly
• C. Soundly
• D. Partly

Answer 1

The correct option is A Thus

The correct answer is Option A.

The person concerned in the sentence does not have proof of his actions and the reason is that he has not preserved the documents. Here we are to choose the suitable adverb of reason.

Option B- 'Certainly' is an adverb of affirmation and will not establish the cause-effect relation, hence not the correct answer.

Option C and D- 'soundly' and 'partly' are adverbs of manner. They describe how the action is done not the reason.

Option A - 'Thus'- correctly and suitably establishes the reason as to why he has no proof of his actions. It is because he did not preserve his documents.

Option A is the correct answer.
