Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank number 2.
Option 1: rigorously
Option 2: severely
Option 3: strictly

Correct Answer: infinitely
Solution : The most appropriate option is the fourth option.
Explanation:
The passage discusses the breadth of one's options in the world, comparing them to the
vastness
of the horizon, which is technically a circle and therefore infinite in nature. The word
infinitely
aligns with the idea of the horizon being
broad and endless
, emphasising the vastness of
one's choices.
The meanings of the other options are as follows:
- Rigorously: This word means in a strict, precise, or thorough manner.
- Severely: This word implies harshness or strictness
- Strictly: Similar to rigorously, it implies a stringent adherence to rules or standards.
