The workers should have been more meticulous.
(1) committed
(2) precise
(3) punctual
(4) No Improvement
Option 1: (1)
Option 2: (2)
Option 3: (3)
Option 4: (4)
Correct Answer: (1)
Solution : The correct choice is the first option.
Meticulous should be replaced with committed to convey the intended meaning. Committed means willing to work hard and give time and energy to something.
Meticulous means showing great attention to detail and being very careful and precise. Precise means careful and exact in details. Punctual means being on time. These options, while correct, are not as apt to be used in the context of the sentence as committed.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: The workers should have been more committed.
