Transcript text: As used in sentence 8, "readily" most nearly means
easily
gladly
willingly
voluntarily
Solution
Answer
The answer is easily.
Explanation
Option 1: easily
"Readily" often means without difficulty or effort, which aligns closely with the meaning of "easily."
Option 2: gladly
While "readily" can sometimes imply a sense of willingness, "gladly" specifically conveys a sense of happiness or pleasure, which is not the primary meaning of "readily."
Option 3: willingly
"Willingly" suggests a sense of consent or eagerness, which can be a secondary meaning of "readily," but it is not the most direct synonym.
Option 4: voluntarily
"Voluntarily" implies doing something by one's own choice, which is related but not as precise as "easily" in the context of "readily."
