      Solution

      Clue → false stability “not by genuine resilience” → indicates illusion “could quickly ___ under shocks” → collapse idea First blank: illusory = deceptive / not real Second blank: unravel = fall apart / collapse Elimination: robust, durable, resilient → opposite meaning transient → short-lived but doesn’t capture deception stabilize / endure → wrong direction  Correct → illusory, unravel
