The speaker delivered a __________ impressive presentation on climate change.

  • A.rarely
  • B.merely
  • C.highly
  • D.hardly

Answer: C

The answer is highly: The speaker delivered a highly impressive presentation.

Highly is an intensifier meaning very or to a great degree, and it collocates naturally with adjectives of praise and evaluation: highly impressive, highly successful, highly regarded.

Rarely and hardly are negative in sense (hardly impressive means scarcely impressive), which clashes with the positive tone. Merely means only, and 'a merely impressive presentation' is not natural English.
