The correct words for the blanks are (i) cognoscenti and (ii) heteromorphic.

Breakdown of the Blanks
- Blank (i): A. cognoscenti

The sentence says that certain architectural figures "recognized Hadid's talents early and encouraged their development." The context suggests these people were experts or connoisseurs in the field. Cognoscenti means people with a deep knowledge or understanding of a subject. This fits the description of mentors who could spot and nurture a young talent.
- Blank (ii): F. heteromorphic

The second blank describes Hadid's style, which was inspired by "disparate" styles, specifically "sparse constructivism" and "flowing calligraphy." Heteromorphic means having more than one form or type. This word accurately captures a style that draws from two very different and seemingly contradictory sources.

The Complete Sentence
"Architectural cognoscenti such as Koolhaas recognized Hadid's talents early and encouraged their development. By 1977, only a few years after their initial encounter, she had perfected her heteromorphic style, inspired equally by such disparate styles as Malevich's sparse constructivism and the flowing calligraphy of her native Arabic."
