Thorough
According to the Merriam-Webster online dictionary, there are two definitions for the word thorough. The first definition is: carried through to completion; exhaustive. The second definition is: marked by full detail; careful about detail, painstaking; complete in all respects; having full mastery (as of an art). Here's one way to use this word in a sentence: When she looked over her friend's schoolwork she was amazed at how thorough her answers were. Another way you could use this word in a sentence would be: The cops did a thorough investigation of the crime scene. In both of these sentences you can see that thorough would fall under the "marked by full detail" definition.
