Select the most appropriate synonym of the bracketed word
in the following sentence to fill in the blank. The archaeologist’s __________(meticulous) research uncovered details that had been overlooked for centuries.Solution
The word "meticulous" refers to being extremely careful and paying attention to small details.
Careful is the best synonym because it captures the sense of thoroughness and attention to detail implied by meticulous.
Hasty, brief, and inaccurate all suggest the opposite of thoroughness, meaning they do not match the intended meaning of meticulous.
