AfterBoards · Accepted Answer

The most appropriate word to fill (v) in the given passage is largely (Option 3).

Grammatical Function	Explanation
Adverb Requirement	The sentence needs an adverb to modify the verb "borrowed" and indicate the extent or manner of borrowing
Context Analysis	The sentence describes how the Indian Bill of Rights borrowed content from other constitutions, beyond what it took from the US Constitution
Complete Phrase	"borrowed largely from other Constitutions" creates a grammatically correct phrase indicating that a significant amount of content was borrowed

Option	Word Type	Analysis
1. large	adjective	Cannot directly modify the verb "borrowed"
2. largest	superlative adjective	Doesn't fit grammatically in this context
3. largely	adverb	Correctly modifies "borrowed," indicating extent of borrowing
4. largly	misspelled	Incorrect spelling of "largely"

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 3
