Correct Answer: (1)
Solution : The correct improvement for the sentence is the first option.
This word implies a higher degree of emphasis and seriousness. When we say " strictly speaking" , we emphasise the fact being stated, in this case, that no man is perfect. It adds a sense of clarity and emphasis to the statement.
The meanings of the other options are as follows:
Slightly: It changes the meaning to suggest that the statement is only slightly true, which is incorrect.
Vaguely: It changes the meaning to suggest that the statement is somewhat unclear or ambiguous, which is also incorrect.
Therefore, the correct statement is, " Strictly speaking, no man is perfect."
