Correct Answer: badly


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

In the context of the sentence, which describes someone being hit by a shotgun, the appropriate adverb needs to convey the severity or intensity of the impact. Badly is the most fitting choice, as it accurately describes the severity of being hit by a shotgun, implying a serious injury.

The meanings of other options are as follows:

  • Nicely typically implies something done well, which is not suitable in this context.
  • Extremely indicates intensity; it lacks the connotation of harm or negativity.
  • Poorly implies inadequacy but doesn't adequately convey the seriousness of being shot.

Therefore, the complete sentence is: In 1822, a man named Alexis St. Martin was badly hit by a shotgun.
