Which of the following word would fill the
blank given in statement B?

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. The phrase "the next day" in statement B indicates a specific date rather than a prolonged period, so options B (Eventually) and E (Slowly) are unsuitable.

2. Since the UN intervened to stop the conflict, a ceasefire declaration is expected to be official and planned, ruling out options C (Abruptly) and D (Suddenly) which imply suddenness.

3. Therefore, option A (Formally) fits best as it conveys an official declaration on a fixed date.

**Answer:** A. Formally
