The organization has _____ expanded its services to underserved communities.
Which choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase?
A. never
B. accidentally
C. reluctantly
D. actively✓ Correct
Detailed Answer Explanation
Choice D is the best answer. "Actively" is correct because it means "in an active manner." The context clues in the passage indicate that this meaning best completes the sentence logically.
Why others are wrong: A ("Never" means "at no time," which doesn't fit the context.), B ("Accidentally" means "by chance," which doesn't fit the context.), C ("Reluctantly" means "unwillingly," which doesn't fit the context.).
