No Arc29, Despair is the right choice for the second blank since clarissa fell silently in a state of anguish but the Bevy is puzzling me. I think for the first blank the right answer is Quota

Please, formatting the table of the two blanks according to the rules here.

It is simple a make the question more legible

Thank you so much

why not Reverie ? 'daydream' ?

Thanks for the explanation

doesn't contemplate mean think deeply and at length or look thoughtfully for a long time. I feel its better suited here. Despair is just too gloomy in context. why would she be gloomy if there's so much option(bevy) to choose from.

these options are work
Bevy -Despair
Minuscle - Despair
Bevy -Contemplation
Bevy - Reverie

so would some one tell me why only
Bevy - Despair is work

Frankly, I m missing your point.

You need to picks two words ...........

thank you brother
I mean the combination of words options are un limited

1. Blank (i): The sentence describes Clarissa facing many choices at the patisserie.
- "Bevy" (C) means a large group or collection, which fits well with an abundance of pastries.
- "Minuscule" (A) means very small, which contradicts the context.
- "Quota" (B) refers to a fixed share, which doesn't fit.
2. Blank (ii): Clarissa falls silent while considering her options.
- "Contemplation" (D) suggests thoughtful consideration, which fits well.
- "Reverie" (E) implies a dreamy, distracted state, which could also work but is slightly less precise.
- "Despair" (F) is too negative for this context (unless she's overwhelmed in a bad way, but that's unlikely given the setting).

Best Answer:
Blank (i): C. bevy
Blank (ii): D. contemplation
(If the intended meaning is more of a dreamy, distracted silence, E. reverie could also be acceptable.)
