your mouth kind of metal reinforcement All right check the

00:12

following passage you mentioned a hotel brochure often beaumont In

00:29

the second sentence meticulously means what All right well if

00:37

we don't already know the definition of meticulously then this

00:41

one might be tough Several of these answer options would

00:44

make sense in the context of the sentence All right

well lucky for us we do know that meticulously describes

00:49

when a person does something carefully with a lot of

00:52

attention to detail We could say we spent last night

to make our model of the enterprise more ready while

01:55

some metal reinforcement would be a good place to start

02:00

02:04

means with great attention to detail or carefully so b

02:07
