--blanks--

focus

--feedback--

This means to give full attention to something.


solely

--feedback--

This means only or exclusively, without distractions.


on

--feedback--

This preposition is used to indicate the specific subject receiving attention.

--explanation--

Focus on means to give full attention to a specific task or subject.

Solely means only or exclusively, without any other responsibilities or distractions.

When people say focus solely on, they are combining both ideas: giving full attention only to one specific thing.

Notice that solely is placed between focus and on to emphasize that there are no other distractions. For example:

He needs a quiet space to focus solely on writing his code. – This means he wants to give all of his attention to coding, without any interruptions.
