Select the correct option: He spoke so ____ that even abstruse theories seemed digestible.
lucidly
The blank modifies the verb spoke, so an adverb is required. The adverbial form of lucid is lucidly, meaning "in a clear, easily understood manner".
Lucid is an adjective (modifies a noun), and both lucidity and lucidness are nouns referring to the quality of being clear — they cannot fit the adverb slot.
The completed sentence reads: "He spoke so lucidly that even abstruse theories seemed digestible."
Hence the correct answer is lucidly.
