    sentence are given four words among which one word might fill the blank. If none of the words fill the blank to form a meaningful sentence, choose option 5 ‘None of the above’ as your answer.

    B reckless Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C superficial Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D methodical Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of the above Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The sentence suggests that the CEO handled the financial crisis in a thoughtful, organized way. "Methodical" means done according to a systematic or organized procedure, which fits the context of careful planning. The other options (hasty, reckless, superficial) suggest careless or quick approaches, which do not align with the idea of a well-thought-out solution.
