"A _________ investigation can sometimes yield new facts, but typically organized ones are more successful."

The word that best fills the blank in the above sentence is

  • A.meandering
  • B.timely
  • C.consistent
  • D.systematic

Answer: A

The word is meandering.

The sentence sets the blank against 'organized ones': the investigation that only 'sometimes' yields new facts is the opposite of an organized one. Meandering means wandering without a fixed course, which is exactly that contrast.

Systematic and consistent describe organized work, so they would make the 'but' meaningless. Timely is about when the investigation happens, not how it is organized, so it does not answer the contrast either.
