In each of the following questions, a sentence is given with two blanks, indicating that parts of the sentence are missing. Choose the most suitable pair of words from the given options that accurately and grammatically complete the sentence. The supreme court justice noted that the statute's ________ language was not an accidental oversight but a deliberate strategy designed to allow regulatory bodies maximum ________ in enforcement.

The sentence explains that a certain type of language was intentionally chosen to give regulatory bodies freedom or flexibility in how they enforce the law. The first blank needs a word describing open-ended or unclear text, making "ambiguous" appropriate. The second blank needs a word meaning freedom of action or choice, making "latitude" perfect.  o (b) fails because "explicit" (very clear) language would restrict regulatory interpretation rather than giving them freedom, and "immunity" is contextually incorrect. o (c) fails because a deliberate strategy to allow maximum "restriction" contradicts the intent to give enforcement bodies operational freedom. o (d) fails because "rigorous" (strict) language would narrow down options rather than expanding enforcement scope.
