Which one of the following words is opposite in meaning to the word 'emphatically' as used in the passage?
Answer: D
The opposite of 'emphatically' is Casually.
To do something emphatically is to do it with force and emphasis, in a clear and definite way, as when someone says something emphatically to leave no doubt. The opposite is to do it casually: in a relaxed, offhand way, without stress or force.
Carefully means with attention, which is not the opposite of forcefully. Irregularly means not at regular intervals. Foolishly means unwisely. None of these reverses the idea of strong emphasis.
