Correct Answer: almost


Solution : The correct word to fill in the blank is the second option.

Almost means very nearly, and in the context of the sentence, it means that the plane was close to five hours away.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Evenly means a uniform surface or an equal number.
  • Keeping is the action of owning something.
  • Allmost is an incorrect spelling of almost.

Therefore, the complete sentence is: The plane was almost five hours late.
