GATE2017 CE-2: GA-2

Question

There was no doubt that their work was through.

Which of the words below is closest in meaning to the underlined word above?

• A. pretty
• B. complete
• C. sloppy
• D. haphazard

Answer 1

The sentence shows the work is completed without a doubt.

• 'sloppy' means 'in a careless and unsystematic manner'
• the word 'haphazard' is used when something is done in unorganised or in random order.

so, these words can't replace 'through', here.

the word 'pretty' doesn't fit in this sentence.

so, Option "B." Complete is the correct choice.

Actually, None of these should be the answer 
B would be answer if it would have been thorough not through
