    In the following questions, each sentence has two blanks.

    Choose the appropriate set of words for the blanks that best fits in the context of the sentence. The research team hopes to __________ the effects of climate change on marine ecosystems and provide meaningful __________ for conservation efforts.
    A overlook, support Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B reduce, benefits Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C examine, insights Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D ignore, assistance Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Since their goal is scientific, the verb “examine” (to study closely) fits perfectly in the first blank.
    The outcome of such research would logically be “insights”, which means useful understanding or knowledge.
    Final sentence:
    The research team hopes to examine the effects of climate change on marine ecosystems and provide meaningful insights for conservation efforts.
