securely

--feedback--

This word describes how the cable should be connected. It's an adverb meaning in a way that is firm and steady, preventing disconnection.

--explanation--

The Present Simple tense often refers to actions or situations that are true all the time, rather than temporary occurrences. For example:

  • The system updates automatically every night. - Refers to a scheduled routine that happens regularly.

  • The app saves data to the cloud. - States a general fact about the app's functionality.

Securely means something is fastened, positioned, or done in a way that ensures safety or proper functioning.

In this sentence, isn't connected securely refers to a state where the power cable is not attached properly, preventing the computer from turning on.
