Sentence:
"Favoring quantity over substance, many amateur writers labor under the delusion that the more (i)
$\qquad$ the sentence structure, the more (ii) $\qquad$ the thought being conveyed."
Understanding the sentence:
- Amateur writers wrongly believe that if the sentence structure is more complex or involved, then the thought will be deeper or more profound.
- So, for Blank (i), a word meaning complex or complicated fits.
- For Blank (ii), a word meaning deep or meaningful fits.
Analyze options for Blank (i):
- A. rudimentary - basic, simple (opposite of what fits)
- B. involved - complex, complicated $\rightarrow$ fits well
- C. superficial - shallow, not deep (doesn't fit)
- D. tactical - strategic; irrelevant
- E. ironic - opposite of what fits
- F. profound - deep, fits better for Blank (ii)
So Blank (i) = B. involved
Analyze options for Blank (ii):
- D. tactical - irrelevant
- E. ironic - opposite in meaning
- F. profound - deep, significant $\rightarrow$ fits well
So Blank (ii) = F. profound
Final answer:
(i) B. involved
(ii) F. profound
