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."
