Explanation:

The word "meticulously" means being very careful and precise. In the context, Eli is writing in a way that shows attention to detail, which aligns with being careful and precise. "Quick and hasty" implies rushing, which is the opposite. "Random and chaotic" means without order. "Careless and carefree" means not paying attention.
