Correct Answer: she worked very slowly


Solution : The correct choice is the second option .

Explanation:

By saying that Beverly made too many mistakes and then adding that she worked very slowly, Bob is indeed making the situation worse for Beverly, as it implies that not only did she make mistakes, but she was also not efficient in her work.

The other phrases are not suitable for conveying the intended meaning of the sentence.

Therefore, the complete sentence is: After saying that Beverly made too many mistakes, Bob added insult to injury by saying she worked very slowly.
