Which of the following pairs of words correctly completes blank (i) and blank (ii) in the passage?

  1. (i) optimistic, (ii) arduousCevap

Cevap

The correct completion is blank (i) optimistic and blank (ii) arduous.
The choice featuring '(i) optimistic, (ii) arduous' correctly aligns both blanks with the contextual clues. 'Optimistic' accurately reflects a hypothesis expecting a 'seamless transition', and 'arduous' satisfies the contrast signaled by 'While' and 'severe operational hurdles'.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the context clues for blank (i)
The clause 'predicting a seamless transition' elaborates on the nature of the initial hypothesis, indicating that blank (i) requires a word with a favorable or hopeful connotation such as 'optimistic'.
Elaboration clauses define the tone and meaning of adjacent descriptors.
2
Analyze the structural signals and clues for blank (ii)
The transition 'While...' establishing contrast, alongside 'severe operational hurdles' and 'far more... than originally anticipated', indicates that blank (ii) must contrast with 'seamless' and mean difficult or laborious, making 'arduous' the correct fit.
Multi-blank dependency tracking requires ensuring both blanks align with the overall contrast structure of the sentence.
