Verified Explanation

The correct answer is D. in

The complete sentence is: Jane is meticulous in cleaning her bathroom.

Explanation:

When describing someone’s attention to detail or thoroughness while performing a task, the preposition “in” is used. In this sentence, Jane is very thorough and pays great attention to detail when cleaning her bathroom. Therefore, “in” is the appropriate preposition to use.

Other options:

  • A. with “Meticulous with” is not a valid combination and does not convey the intended meaning of thoroughness in performing a task.
  • B. on “Meticulous on” is not a valid combination and does not convey the intended meaning of thoroughness in performing a task.
  • C. to “Meticulous to” is not a valid combination and does not convey the intended meaning of thoroughness in performing a task.
