A part of sentence given below has been underlined. You have to Select the option that best replaces the underlined part.
Many people mistake familiarity for a vulgar style, and suppose that to write without affectation is to write at random speed.
- is to do speed writing
- is to write fast
- is to write randomly
- is to write at random
Answer
"To write at random" is more concise than "to write at a random speed" and conveys the meaning perfectly.
"writing without affectation" in no sense means writing "fast" or "with speed".
"randomly" is wrong because of the parallel construction with "write without affectation"
The correct option is D.
