新型ウイルスの影響で、経済に ___ な打撃が出ている。
The correct answer is 「深刻」(しんこく), meaning "serious," "severe," or "grave." The impact of a novel virus typically causes significant negative effects, making "深刻な打撃" (severe damage) the most appropriate phrase for economic consequences. 「軽微」(けいび) means "slight" or "minor"; this contradicts the expected impact of a novel virus on the economy. 「明白」(めいはく) means "clear" or "obvious"; while the damage might be obvious, "明白な打撃" is not a natural collocation to describe the *degree* of damage. 「厳密」(げんみつ) means "strict" or "precise"; this describes exactness, not the severity of an impact.
正解は「深刻(しんこく)」です。新型ウイルスの影響で経済に「重大で厳しい損害」が出ている、という意味に合います。「軽微」は軽くて小さいこと、「明白」ははっきりしていること、「厳密」は非常に正確で細部にわたること。どれも「打撃」の程度を表す言葉としては不適切です。
