Re: Mulling over the various plans for the reorganization of the sales dep [#permalink]

OFFICIAL EXPLANATION


The correct answers are C and F .


"Reticently" means "reluctantly, unwillingly" and is a synonym for choice F, "reluctantly." Choices A and B, "timidly" and "diffidently," are synonyms meaning "lacking in selfconfidence, shyly." "Timidly" can also mean "hesitantly," choice E. The fact that there are three similar words should signal that none is correct. There is also nothing to indicate that the two acted timidly. In context, acting reluctantly makes better sense. Choice D, "stingily," doesn't make sense in the context.
