New: SSC Stenographer Application Form 2024 Released
Don't Miss: Month-wise current affairs
Suggested: Upcoming government exams
Correct Answer: scarcely
Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.
Explanation:
The reason "scarcely" is the most appropriate option is that it emphasises the difficulty or near-impossibility of believing the speaker's statement. "Scarcely" adds a sense of incredibility, aligning well with the context where the speaker is expressing that what he saw is hard to believe.
The meanings of the other options are as follows:
- Seldom: Infrequently or rarely occurring.
- Often: Frequently or regularly occurring.
- Rarely: Not occurring often; infrequently happening.
Therefore, the complete sentence would be: You would scarcely believe me when I tell you what I saw.
