Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

"Sincerely" is the most appropriate choice because it modifies the degree or intensity of the apology, which suggests a genuine or heartfelt expression of remorse. "Sure" is an adverb that typically means "certainly" or "without doubt," which does not fit the context of the sentence. "More" and "most" are comparative and superlative forms, respectively, which would require a comparison to something else, such as "more sorry than he had expected to be" or "the most sorry he had ever felt."
