▪The report was written without any mistakes.
"Perfectly" is an adverb meaning "in a perfect manner" or "without any errors." It is often used to describe the quality of an action, as in "The report was perfectly written," indicating that the report has no mistakes. A word that might confuse beginners is "precisely," which means "exactly" and is used for accuracy rather than the absence of mistakes. Using "precisely" in the context of error-free writing would be less appropriate. Thus, "perfectly" is the correct choice when describing flawless execution.
