OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
The correct answers are A, D, and H.
Answer Blank (i): The word "although" signals that this sentence establishes a contrast between the benefits of communicating electronically and the benefits of communicating in person. The first word should establish a benefit of communicating electronically that contrasts the benefits of taking the time to meet in person, and choice A, "expedient," implies convenience and quickness. Choice B, "prevalent," means "popular," and it may be true that communicating electronically is popular, but the popularity of such communication is not the issue the sentence discusses. Choice C, "state-of-theart," means "technologically current," and this is not the issue at hand in the sentence either.
Answer Blank (ii): This word should indicate the positive nature of meeting in person, and choice D, "equivalent," indicates that there is no substitute for meeting in person, so it is the best answer. Choice E, "justification," would present meeting in person in a negative light. Choice F, "concern," simply does not make sense in this context.
Answer Blank (iii): The sentence suggests that the benefit of meeting with people in person is that it allows people to be in each others' presence rather than separated while using electronic devices. Choice H, "segregated," means "separated," so it is the best answer for this context. The other choices simply do not make sense. Choice G implies that one cannot move while communicating electronically, which is untrue. Choice I implies that communicating electronically could physically change a person into something ugly and disgusting, which is absurd.
