In the above mentioned sentence, the most appropriate word to be filled in the blank is Option C “kindly”, as it is grammatically the most suitable word given the nature of the sentence. The sentence describes the attitude of the teacher towards her naughty children, and with the given options, the correct form of ‘kind’ should be “kindly.” "kindly" modifies the verb "spoke" as it tells us the way in which the teacher spoke to the students.

The other options, “kind”, “kindness”, and “kindliness” are not suitable forms to be included in the sentence according to the situation provided, hence Option C is the correct answer.

In the above mentioned sentence, the most appropriate word to be filled in the blank is Option A, “Lately.”

The sentence describes a habit that has been perceived in the recent past, which forms the earlier part of the sentence, and the literal meaning of the word ‘lately’ matches with the same. Though it includes the word late, the word lately means something regarding the recent past, that has been started not much earlier than the present situation.

The other options, “late” and “later”, mean different points of time which do not match with the blank, while “latter” would mean the next one. It will not apply in the sentence as only one party is involved, hence Option A is the right answer.

The sentence is about an exam paper that was easy "this year", and "this year" suggests that it's in mentioned in relation to the previous year. So, we use an adverb that most appropriately completes the sentence. 'Relatively' means 'in relation to'. When placed in the sentence, it means 'in relation to last year', since this completes the sentence in meaning, option C is correct. 'Effectively' means 'to accomplish the expected result', it's not relative to what the sentence means, hence option A is incorrect. 'Literally' means 'in a literal sense, from word to word', this isn't relevant to the sentence hence option B is incorrect. Option D is incorrect because this word does not exist in the English dictionary, nor is it used in Standard English.
