We considered in brief the long term solution to the problem.
Option 1: briefly
Option 2: briefless
Option 3: brief
Option 4: briefness
Correct Answer: briefly
Solution : The correct option is the first option.
Explanation:
Briefly (adverb)
means doing something in a short or concise manner, summarising without going into great detail. "We considered
(in brief)
the long-term solution to the problem." Here,
in brief
refers to doing something quickly or concisely, which aligns with the context of considering the solution briefly or in a concise manner.
The meanings of the other options are as follows:
- Briefless (adjective) refers to being without briefs or lacking in documentation.
- Brief (adjective) means short in duration, concise, or not lasting for a long time.
- Briefness (noun) refers to the quality of being brief or short in duration.
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "We considered briefly the long-term solution to the problem."
