The correct answer is: A. deadly against.
A reactionary is someone who opposes change or progress, especially in politics. The word “out and out” means “completely” or “unreservedly.” So, to say that someone is “out and out a reactionary” means that they are completely opposed to change or progress.
The other options are not correct because they do not accurately describe the meaning of the word “reactionary.” Option B, “in favor of,” is the opposite of what a reactionary is. Option C, “no more,” does not make sense in the context of the sentence. Option D, “thoroughly,” is not specific enough.
Here are some examples of how the word “reactionary” can be used in a sentence:
- The reactionary government cracked down on dissent.
- The reactionary movement gained popularity in the wake of the economic crisis.
- The reactionary candidate lost the election by a landslide.
