Fill in the blanks with suitable words given in the options. The advanced software that the company has developed can _____ vast amounts of data in real-time, which allows businesses to make informed decisions and improve their ______ efficiency significantly.      

Blank 1- The modal verb 'can' is always followed by the base form of the main verb. The base form 'analyse' means to examine something in detail in order to understand it better or to extract useful information. In the context of the sentence, it refers to the software's ability to process and interpret large volumes of data to provide meaningful insights. The base form 'simmer' (to cook or cook in a liquid at or just below the boiling point) does not fit the context. The verbs 'interpreted' (past tense), 'studied' (past tense) and 'evaluated' (past tense) are not in their base forms. Blank 2- This blank requires an adjective to qualify the noun 'efficiency'. The adjective 'operational' refers to the functioning or running of a system or process. In the sentence, it refers to how efficiently the business processes work, implying that the software helps in improving these processes. The adjective 'apprehensive' (uneasy or fearful about something that might happen) does not fit the context. The word 'agency' is a noun, not an adjective. The words 'benefit' and 'advantage' are nouns/verbs, not adjectives.
