Explanation:

To determine the meaning of "meticulously" in the context of working, we analyze the options: "Random and chaotic" and "Careless and carefree" imply lack of care, opposite of meticulous. "Quick and hasty" focuses on speed, not care. "Very careful and precise" matches the idea of doing work with great attention to detail, which is what "meticulously" conveys.
