Banking Exams English — Question 1895
Question
Read the passage and choose the best word for the blank: 'Earlier, people had to wait for days to receive a letter; today, messages are delivered _____. This speed has transformed daily life.'
- instantly
- slowly
- rarely
- lately
Correct answer
A — instantly
Explanation (English)
The contrast with waiting 'for days' and the reference to 'speed' require a word meaning immediately, so 'instantly' fits. 'Slowly' and 'rarely' oppose the sense of speed, and 'lately' means 'recently', which is illogical here.
