Show Hint
- analysis; systematically; waving
- overview; purposely; beckoning
- investigation; deliberately; signalling
- appraisal; particularly; speaking
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: The most appropriate choice is option (C), where "investigation" refers to a detailed examination of the runner's actions, "deliberately" indicates that the runner slowed down on purpose, and "signalling" refers to the act of letting the other runner cross the finish line.
Step 2: Let's analyze the other options:
Option (A) uses "analysis" which fits in a more academic context, but "waving" does not match the context of letting someone cross the line.
Option (B) suggests a purposeful overview and "beckoning," but "purposely" and "beckoning" don't fit as naturally with the race scenario.
Option (D) uses "appraisal" which doesn't fit the context of the event described, and "speaking" is unrelated to the physical gesture of letting someone pass.
Thus, option (C) is the most fitting and contextually appropriate choice.
