Banking Exams English — Question 1897
Question
Read the passage and choose the best word for the blank: 'The spread of false information is a serious problem that must be dealt with _____, before it misleads a large number of people.'
- carelessly
- promptly
- rarely
- never
Correct answer
B — promptly
Explanation (English)
The phrase 'before it misleads a large number of people' calls for quick, timely action, so 'promptly' fits. 'Carelessly', 'rarely' and 'never' all fail to convey the needed urgency.
