Comments

---

i take back my words there no 50 percentage of words which are easy first time i type the comment i just saw all words which asked for synonyms but later when i see options i didnt even correct 1 question

Answer 1

The sentence shows the work is completed without a doubt.

• 'sloppy' means 'in a careless and unsystematic manner'
• the word 'haphazard' is used when something is done in unorganised or in random order.

so, these words can't replace 'thorough', here.

the word 'pretty' doesn't fit in this sentence.

so, Option "B." Complete is the correct choice.
