OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
The correct answer is $\(\mathbf{C}\)$.
The clue to the correct answer is the phrase "hard sell"; the context of the sentence indicates that you need to find the word that indicates some opposite action. Choice C, "judiciously," means"showing good judgment, being prudent," and matches the sense. Choice A, "with ease," doesn't quite fit the sense; you can do a hard sell easily. The same problem occurs with choice B , "actively." Choice D, "expeditiously," means "efficiently and quickly," and is incorrect because doing a hard sell efficiently and quickly doesn't make it any more palatable to the consumer. Nor does being simply efficient, choice E.
