Explanation

The correct answer is ' eventually '. Key Points The most appropriate title for the given passage is 'Amundsen's South Pole expedition'. In the fifth blank, ' eventually ' should be used. It means 'in the end; finally'. (अंत में; अंततोगत्‍वा) Example: He eventually managed to persuade his parents to let him buy a motorbike. Let's look at the meaning of other words: entirely : completely (often used for emphasis). [पूर्णतया] totally : completely. (पूर्णतया, पूरी तरह से) happily : in a happy way. (प्रसन्‍नतापूर्वक) Thus, the correct answer is Option 1. Correct Passage:When Roald Amundsen first reached the South Pole in 1911, he could plant his flag there whilst, back in the Arctic, no explorer ever had the luxury to secure his claim with a flag. If he did, it would eventually end up floating away to Greenland, making it a totally useless exercise.
