Choose the correct answer:
- A.
seriously
- B.
Fatally
(Correct Answer) - C.
fatefully
- D.
Vitally
Fatally
Explanation
Solution
The correct option is (b) fatally.
Explanation:
-
Fatally: This adverb is used to describe an event or injury that leads directly to death. Since the second part of the sentence states "he died within half an hour," "fatally" is the most accurate and specific choice.
-
Seriously: While the injury was certainly serious, "seriously" does not inherently mean it caused death. It only describes the intensity of the injury.
-
Fatefully: This refers to something having far-reaching or decisive consequences (often relating to destiny), but it isn't used to describe physical injury leading to death.
-
Vitally: This usually means in a way that is essential to life or extremely important, but it is not a standard term for describing an injury that results in death.
