Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Correct sentence: A meandering investigation can sometimes yield new facts, but typically organized ones are more successful.
Why this is correct: The blank requires a word meaning 'wandering' or 'undirected' to contrast with organized investigations. "Meandering" fits that meaning.
Meandering: proceeding in a winding, undirected, or aimless way — matches the contrast in the sentence.
Timely: occurring at a favourable or opportune time — unrelated to being organized versus wandering.
Consistent: acting the same way over time — does not convey 'wandering' or 'undirected'.
Systematic: methodical or organized — the opposite of the intended meaning for the blank.
Answer: meandering — it correctly contrasts with organized/systematic investigations.
