The answers are C, E and G.
Blank (i) describes the demeanor of doctors in response to the discovery of a cancer-causing gene:
A. felicitous: This term means pleasant or fortunate, which doesn’t align with the expected reaction of doctors to the discovery of a cancer-causing gene.
B. morose: "Morose" describes a gloomy or sullen attitude, which might be inappropriate and not the best fit for the context.
C. impassive: "Impassive" means showing no emotion or not displaying any outward reaction. This term aligns well with the idea that doctors have remained unemotional or expressionless in response to the groundbreaking discovery.
Blank (ii) refers to the difficulty in translating the gene discovery into usable medicine:
D. a prized: This phrase does not accurately describe the challenging nature of transforming the discovery into practical medicine.
E. an arduous: "Arduous" means difficult or requiring much effort, which accurately reflects the challenging task of translating the gene discovery into usable medicine.
F. an austere: "Austere" means strict, severe, or stern, but it does not convey the idea of a difficult or challenging task in this context.
Blank (iii) indicates the outcome regarding the need for uncomfortable and lengthy treatments:
G. obviate: "Obviate" means to prevent or make unnecessary, suggesting that the discovery will not bring an end to the need for uncomfortable treatments any time soon.
H. aggrandize: "Aggrandize" means to increase the power, status, or wealth of something, which doesn't fit the context.
I. effect: "Effect" in this context means to bring about or accomplish a change, which doesn't align with the idea that the discovery won't eliminate the need for uncomfortable treatments anytime soon.
Therefore, the correct words for the blanks are C. impassive for the first blank (describing the doctors' unemotional response), E. an arduous for the second blank (indicating the challenging task of translating the discovery into medicine), and G. obviate for the third blank (implying that the discovery won't eliminate the need for uncomfortable treatments in the near future).
