Solution
The correct option is C Partially
The word, 'thoroughly' means 'completely and in a way that includes many details'. The word, 'partially' means 'only in part' or 'to a limited extent'. These two words have opposite meanings. Hence, option D is the correct answer.
The word, 'curiously' means 'in a way that shows eagerness to know or learn something'. It also means 'in a strange and unusual way'. The word, 'fully' means 'completely' and means the same as 'thoroughly'. The word, 'freely' means 'not under the control of another'. It also means 'without any hindrance'. As the words, 'curiously', 'fully' and 'freely' do not convey the opposite meaning of the underlined word, 'thoroughly', options A, B and C are incorrect.
