Question

Fill in the blank with the appropriate word. He apologized ______________.

• A. Predominantly
• B. Proactively
• C. Profusely
• D. Purportedly

Hint:

"Profusely" is used to describe something done in great quantity or with intense emotion, especially apologies.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The correct word here is "profusely," which means in a very large amount or with a lot of emotion. People often apologize profusely when they are deeply regretful or sorry. "Predominantly" and "proactively" do not fit in the context of an apology, and "purportedly" means allegedly, which does not convey the same meaning.
Thus, the correct answer is (c) Profusely.
