sentences with two blanks. Select the most appropriate pair from the options provided to complete both the sentences and ensure coherence.

(II) The novel delved into the ___________________ themes of existence and time, exploring the ways in which human beings are constantly ___________________ by the passage of years.Solution
The first sentence discusses a worldview based on forces that are beyond human comprehension.
