Find the synonym of the underlined word.
Even the richest nations will eventually have to adapt to smaller, more economical automobiles.

• A. Never
• B. Better than never
• C. Reluctantly
• D. Gradually
• E. Sooner or later

Answer 1

The correct option is E Sooner or later

Eventually means 'in due course', 'after a period of time'.

In this sentence, "Even the richest nations will eventually have to adapt to smaller, more economical automobiles", 'eventually' means sooner or later; with time.

Hence, option E is correct and the other options are not because they do not provide the appropriate answer.
