Question
In the following questions, each set presents two
sentences with two blanks. Select the most appropriate pair from the options provided to complete both the sentences and ensure coherence. (I) As the historian meticulously examined the ___________________ records of the ancient empire, his mind became increasingly ___________________ by the subtle interconnections between events and figures. (II) The artist, confronted by the ___________________ intricacies of the design, found herself momentarily ___________________ by the complexity of her own creation.Solution
In the first sentence, the historian is examining records and becoming engrossed in subtle connections, suggesting complexity and depth. "Labyrinthine" (meaning maze-like or intricate) fits perfectly with "subtle interconnections." "Absorbed" captures the historian's intense focus. The second sentence involves an artist overwhelmed by complexity. "Labyrinthine" again fits, and the artist is likely to be "absorbed" in her work, becoming deeply focused on the intricacies of the design. Thus, the correct answer is (e) labyrinthine, absorbed.
