Which word means 'cautiously'

Which word means 'cautiously'

• A. Gingerly
• B. Accede
• C. Cogent
• D. Copious

Answer: (A)

The idea being tested is finding a word that means acting with careful, deliberate caution. Gingerly fits that sense perfectly—describe moving or handling something with careful, hesitant steps to avoid harm or a mistake. For example, you’d walk gingerly across a wet porch or pick up a fragile vase gingerly, showing careful, restrained action. Accede means to agree or consent, typically to a request, which has nothing to do with how one acts cautiously. Cogent describes an argument that is clear and persuasive, not a manner of doing something. Copious means abundant or plentiful, again not about cautiousness.
