Correct Answer: careful


Solution : The second option is the correct answer.

The sentence suggests that despite using the typewriter for a long time, the person is more characterised by being careful than rapid. "Careful" aligns with the idea that the person prioritises accuracy and precision over speed.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Hasty means doing or acting with excessive speed or urgency.

  • Energetic means full of energy, enthusiasm, or vitality.

  • Heedless means lacking attention or care.

Therefore, the complete sentence is: "Although she has used the typewriter since she was eleven years old, she is rather careful than rapid."
