Which words best complete the passage so that the text maintains logical coherence and proper inter-blank structural dependency?
Cevap:The committee's report was far from (i)【monolithic】; while its preliminary findings appeared to condemn the firm's executive oversight, its concluding chapter provided a nuanced defense that effectively (ii)【mitigated】 the initial severity of the charges.
Cevap
Blank 1: monolithic (or unequivocal); Blank 2: mitigated (or tempered).
The passage establishes a clear structural contrast introduced by 'while'. The second half explains that the report contains both preliminary condemnation and a nuanced defense. A defense functions to lessen or soften initial accusations, calling for a word such as 'mitigated' or 'tempered' for the second blank. Tracking this dependency back to the first blank reveals that a report containing such opposing elements is not uniform or single-minded; thus, the phrase 'far from' requires a word like 'monolithic' or 'unequivocal' for the first blank.
