Question

Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank from the given alternatives:

____________, he has started arriving on time for all the functions.

• A. Lately
• B. Late
• C. Later
• D. Latter

Answer 1

The correct option is A Lately

Let’s examine the sentence: “____________, he has started arriving on time for all the functions.” The sentence is trying to say that in recent times or recently he has started to come on time for all the functions. So, the blank requires a word that means “recently.” Option B or ‘late’ means ‘after the given time’ and so cannot be used here. Option C or ‘later’ means ‘afterwards’ and so cannot be used here. Option D or ‘latter’ means ‘the last part of two things’ and so cannot be used here. Option A or ‘lately’ means ‘recently’ and so is the correct word to be used here. Hence, Option A is the correct answer.
