Choose the correct pair of words to fill in the blanks respectively:

The team performed _______ in the final match earning the trophy; even the old players played _______ after many years

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

The team won the trophy, so both blanks need positive adverbs. 'Brilliantly' describes the winning performance, and 'efficiently' aptly praises the old players performing well after many years. The other pairs contain negative or contradictory words like 'slowly', 'hastily' and 'hardly' that clash with earning the trophy.
