Directions: For the given question, select one entry for the blank to best complete the text. Sedated and medicinally paralyzed, he was wheeled into the emergency room where he was checked _________.

Option (1): ‘Checked painstakingly’ fits in respect of a patient under sedation. Hence, the answer is (1). Option (2): Completely’ checked will be inappropriate in the context of a patient. We are expecting a word like thoroughly. Completely signifies the quantum, but not precision. Option (3): A person in the emergency room will be checked thoroughly or painstakingly, not ‘gently’. Option (4): Since the patient is ‘sedated and medicinally paralyzed’, the question of casual checking does not arise. Option (5): A person in the emergency room will be checked thoroughly or painstakingly, not dispassionately.
