PASSAGE

Which choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase?
A. noticeably✓ Correct
B. barely
C. randomly
D. never
Detailed Answer Explanation
Choice A is the best answer. "Noticeably" is correct because it means "in a way that is easily seen." The context clues in the passage indicate that this meaning best completes the sentence logically.
Why others are wrong: B ("Barely" means "only just," which doesn't fit the context.), C ("Randomly" means "without pattern," which doesn't fit the context.), D ("Never" means "at no time," which doesn't fit the context.).
