with one blank each. From the given answer choices, choose the option which contains the word that fits in both sentences making them grammatically and contextually correct. 1.

I was very interested in seeing that the ambiguity of the _______ was replicated in the movie.Solution
First sentence - we need an adjective here to modify the noun CONCEPT. NOVEL (new) will fit here as the sentence tells us how the concept was not known before. Second sentence - we need a noun here to be modified by the adjective THE. NOVEL (a written account or story) will fit here, as the sentence tells us that the ambiguity of the book was also shown in the movie adaptation. Thus, (c) is the right answer. A and E will fit only in 2, while B and D will fit only in 1.
