Correct Answer: watchfully


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

This choice aligns with the sentence structure, indicating that he ruled well while being attentive and cautious, leaning towards justice rather than mercy. The sentence requires an adverb to modify the verb. Thus, watchfully is the appropriate choice.

Therefore, the complete sentence is: He ruled well but watchfully , making closer friends with justice than with mercy."
