Question:
Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank number 4.
Option 1: morbidly
Option 2: bleakly
Option 3: pithily
Option 4: freely
Correct Answer: freely
Solution : The correct option is the fourth option.
The sentence emphasises the speaker's intention to express themselves without limitations in either life or art.
As freely as I can is a comparative construction using the conjunction "as" to compare two things: the degree of freedom (freely) and the degree of completeness (wholly) in the speaker's expression.
The meanings of the given words are as follows:
-
Morbidly: It suggests an unhealthy mental state or an excessively gloomy or gruesome manner.
-
Pithily: It describes something expressed concisely and effectively, using a few words to convey a message effectively.
-
Bleakly: It describes something done in a way that is without hope or joy, often suggesting a grim or desolate outlook.
So, the complete sentence would be: "I will try to express myself in some mode of life or art as freely as I can and as wholly as I can."

Hello,
I understand how upsetting it is to change career paths especially when you want to do something that's not from the field you've selected. However, you don't need to worry as you can still be nurse after doing class 12th from any other stream.
ANM and GNM are the nursing diploma courses that students of any stream can pursue after class 12th. These courses help the non-science students who are eager to become a nurse enter into the world of nursing and healthcare.
Hope this helps you,
Thank you
