A simple strategy would be to replace each option with groveling in the sentence above and see what makes sense. Quit ignoring, Lou! Of course I'll help you. That's the first one. Now try the rest.

Right. It's begging.

Jen has a good idea -- but it's always wise to look up an unfamiliar word in a dictionary.

I just learned the "real" definition of mathematics from a dictionary.
