To my surprise, the house which looked rather shabby outside was luxuriously and ______. furnished inside. A. complicatedly B. comparatively C. completely D. competitively

The correct word here is C. completely, but it’s worth clarifying why.

The phrase is:

luxuriously and ______ furnished inside

We need a word that can pair sensibly with luxuriously and fits logically with the contrast being described (shabby outside vs. richly furnished inside).

Let’s check each choice:

A. complicatedly — doesn’t fit; furniture isn’t usually described as “complicatedly furnished.”

B. comparatively — doesn’t work as an adverb describing how it’s furnished in this structure; it’s used for comparison, but here there’s no explicit “compared to something.”

C. completely — works well; “completely furnished” means fully furnished, and “luxuriously and completely furnished” fits the meaning of rich and thorough interior decor.

D. competitively — doesn’t fit; not a standard way to describe furnishings.

Answer: C. completely
