      Question

      In each of the following questions, a sentence is given

      with two blanks, indicating that something has been omitted. Choose the pair of words from the given options that best fits the context of the sentence as a whole, making it grammatically correct and contextually meaningful. If none of the given pairs fit the sentence, select 'None of the above' as your answer. The dissident astrophysicist controversially hypothesized that the seemingly erratic trajectory of the interstellar anomaly was not indicative of celestial chaos, but rather governed by a deeply ________ cosmological order that our current observational paradigms are entirely too ________ to decode.
      A latent, myopic Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B chaotic, rudimentary Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C manifest, parochial Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D arcane, infallible Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of the above Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      The physicist argues against "celestial chaos," meaning the order must be hidden or not immediately obvious ("latent" means existing but not yet developed or manifest; hidden). The reason we cannot decode this hidden order is that our current methods are too short-sighted or lacking in foresight/scope ("myopic"). Option (b) fails because a "chaotic cosmological order" is an oxymoron that contradicts the premise of the sentence. Option (c) fails because if the order were "manifest" (clear/obvious), we wouldn't struggle to decode it. Option (d) fails because if our paradigms were "infallible" (incapable of error), we would easily decode the anomaly.
