Question

complete the sentence with the word that best fits the overall meaning and tone.
everyone was impressed by the politicians ability to respond confidently and
______ to challenging questions posed by reporters.
slyly
adroitly
cunningly

Explanation:

The sentence describes a positive trait (impressing people) of the politician. "Slyly" (in a sneaky way) and "cunningly" (in a deceitful way) have negative connotations. "Adroitly" means skillfully or deftly, which fits the positive tone of the sentence as it shows the politician's ability to handle challenging questions well.

Answer:

adroitly
