同意，而且认为比doing 好。

1. 多数副词放在修饰的动词之后，若动词有宾语则放在宾语之后，如：

She sings very well.

I met your uncle(动词的宾语) just now.

I met just now your uncle (错)

2. 副词修饰形容词、介词短语、副词时常放在被修饰成分之前，如：

These two are only slightly different.

right after this, very smoothly

当然，副词enough是一个例外，要放在修饰成分的后面，如：

I am not good enough to do this job. (对)

I am not enough good to do this job. (错)

3. 表示频率的副词常放在实意动词之前，be动词之后，如：

He often/ always/ rarely/seldom/never play(实意动词) tennis.

He is always here at 8’clock. (be动词之后)

4. 部分副词的位置没有一定的规定，原则上接近被修饰词即可，如：

only, even, still, perhaps, etc.

所以，应该改成 to ignore completely

I'm pretty sure that "To completely ignore the opinion of others is to invite..." is correct.  It's perfectly fine to put "completely" in front of "ignore".

Since the question is not from ETS, I would ignore it :-)
