Question

Option 1: discovered; internal; enormously

Option 2: alleged; insider; illicitly

Option 3: accused; important; dramatically

Option 4: announced; financial; treacherously

AfterBoards · Accepted Answer

Option 2 is correct as 'alleged' suggests a claim without proof, fitting the legal context. 'Insider' information refers to confidential knowledge that could be used for personal gain, and 'illicitly' highlights the illegality of the profit.

One-liner meanings:

Alleged: Said, without proof, to have taken place or to have a specified illegal or undesirable quality.
Illicitly: In a way that is contrary to or forbidden by the law, rules, or custom.

Option 1: 'Discovered' implies proof which contradicts the scenario.
Option 3 and Option 4 do not correctly match the nuances of legal and confidential contexts.
