Question

19. We maintain the same schedule for only two weeks to prevent the employees from becoming lazy because they are too used to their routine.

(A) usually (B) often (C) hardly (D) shortly​

Answer 1

The best answer for this sentence would be (D) shortly.

The use of "two weeks" suggests a brief period of time, so "shortly" fits the context better than the other options. "Usually" and "often" both imply a longer duration than two weeks, while "hardly" doesn't make sense in this context as it suggests the opposite of what the sentence is trying to convey.
