sentences with two blanks. Select the most appropriate pair from the options provided to complete both the sentences and ensure coherence. (I) The philosophy of the ancient empire was built on the belief that the world was governed by ___________________ forces, which remained ___________________ to human understanding. (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. "Transcendental" (meaning beyond ordinary experience or understanding) fits the description of governing forces, and "inscrutable" (meaning impossible to understand or interpret) perfectly matches the idea that these forces are unknowable. Thus, the correct answer is (c) transcendental, inscrutable.
