      Question

      In each of the following questions, a sentence has two

      blanks. Choose the pair of words that best fits the blanks contextually and grammatically. The philosopher argued that societies often celebrate technological progress with excessive enthusiasm while remaining dangerously ______ to the ethical consequences that may gradually ______ beneath the surface of innovation.
      A receptive, disappear Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B oblivious, emerge Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C committed, deteriorate Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D sensitive, stabilize Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E adaptable, transform Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      The sentence contrasts:  enthusiasm for technological progress WITH  ignorance of ethical consequences. Thus, the first blank should indicate: → lack of awareness. “Oblivious” means: → unaware or inattentive. The second blank refers to ethical consequences gradually becoming visible. “Emerge” means: → appear or become apparent over time. The combination:  “dangerously oblivious”  and “consequences may emerge” Fits both the philosophical tone and logical structure perfectly. Hence, option (b).
